European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen received a letter from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in which she sets out her “concerns related to sanctions” which include an embargo on the import of oil from Russia into the EU. This was stated by the chief spokesman of the community executive Eric Mamer, during the press briefing in Brussels. Read also “We said from the beginning – adds Mamer – that we understand that some Member States are in specific situations due to geography and dependence on oil pipelines” that connect them to Russia. “We have taken this into account in the proposal and we have thought about this before presenting the proposal”, but “we do not negotiate before presenting the package. We have conducted intense consultations”, explaining to the States “what is our thinking and the logic” behind the measures that member states are now discussing. After the consultations, “when we believe that everyone has been well informed we present the proposal. It is a very transparent process, but it does not mean that there is unanimity before presenting the proposal”, because that would mean “overturning” the European institutional process. “The discussions continue – Mamer continues – and the Coreper meeting has recently ended. I suppose they will continue later, let’s see where they lead us. We look for a way to cut the flow of money that finances Putin’s war. We believe it is feasible. : discussions are needed, but we are confident that a solution will be found “. The European Commission’s proposal for sanctions on oil imports from Russia would be” like an atomic bomb dropped on the Hungarian economy, “said Orban. According to the Hungarian premier, the country would not be able to replace Russian oil imports even in the 20 months envisaged for Hungary. “Based on our calculations, we need five years to switch, so there’s no point in a year or a year and a half postponement,” he said on the radio. “Return to sender”, he urged him. Budapest supported previous EU sanctions packages. “But – he said – even then we said that there is a red line that must not be crossed, it is the energy sector”. According to Orban, the European Commission has now “attacked the unity of emerged Europe” on Ukraine after the Russian invasion. On radio, Kossuth said that the European Commission’s proposal had been presented “without any consultation”. “Oil can only arrive in Hungary via a pipeline and therefore a proposal that ignores this circumstance is an atomic bomb against the Hungarian economy,” he said. It is possible to obtain oil in other ways, he said, but it would be very expensive. “If the proposal is in Hungary’s interest – he said – we will be happy to discuss it.” “We do not support the inclusion of church leaders in the sanctions list,” Orban said after the interview in statements reported by the Magyar Hirlap newspaper talking about the sanctions against Patriarch Kirill. Budapest, he said, maintains a “position of peace”, excluding implications for the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The Russians attacked Ukraine – he said – It’s a war between Russia and Ukraine, it’s not our war”.
