War in Ukraine. Embargo on Russian oil: the EU crosses “a red line” for Viktor Orban – Ouest-France

Hungarian nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban ruled on Friday May 6, 2022 that Brussels had crossed “a red line” by wanting to ban imports of Russian oil and “undermined” the European unity displayed since the start of the war in Ukraine.

A month after the withdrawal of Russian troops, kyiv is back to a semblance of normal life The energy embargo, “the red line” not to be crossed “The President of the Commission”, Ursula von der Leyen, “has voluntarily or not attacked European unity,” said Viktor Orban in a radio interview. “I said yes to the first five sanctions packages, but we made it clear from the start that there was a red line: the energy embargo. They crossed that line […], there comes a time when you have to say stop,” he added. Hungary had already said on Wednesday its opposition to the embargo project “in its current form”, and Viktor Orban, close before the invasion of Russian President Vladimir Putin, drives the point home. “We need a unanimous decision, as long as the Hungarian question is not resolved, there will be no yes from Hungary”, he insisted, without wanting to use the word “veto”. “The proposal has been returned to the sender, to Madam President for her to rework it, we are awaiting a new proposal”, added the leader. The unanimity of the 27 is imperative for the adoption of sanctions by the EU. It has been obtained for the previous five rounds of sanctions. The Commission recommends in its 6th package of sanctions “a ban on all Russian oil, crude and refined, transported by sea and by pipeline” by the end of 2022. A “nuclear bomb” on the Hungarian economy According to Viktor Orban, the Europeans had recorded “the sovereign right of each country over its energy mix”, Hungary being 65% dependent on Russian oil. An embargo “would be equivalent to a nuclear bomb dropped on the Hungarian economy”, launched Friday the Prime Minister, accustomed to arm wrestling with his European partners for twelve years. The derogation planned for his country until the end of 2023 by the Commission is in his view in no way satisfactory, “the total transformation of the Hungarian transport and energy supply system” requiring “five years” and proving to be very costly. to implement. “We are not going anywhere with a one-and-a-half-year exemption,” he said, adding that Budapest would accept the proposal if crude oil delivered by pipelines were excluded from the package. Viktor Orban also protested against the inclusion in the sanctions package of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, who showed support for the offensive. “We will not allow church leaders to be put on a sanctions list,” he said.
