Starting today, the national petition can also be filled out online. It is especially important to complete it because it allows us to say no to three crucial issues.
First, we do not want our money to be sent to Ukraine — we do not want to hand it over.
We also do not want to send weapons to Ukraine, because that could draw us into the war.
And third, it is extremely important that we do not want Hungarian families’ utility costs to increase because of the war.
If you look around the world, you can see that the situation is highly unstable and that there is enormous pressure on us. At the moment, Ukraine is pressuring us by refusing to restart oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline.
That is why it is especially important to stand up for Hungarian interests and make our voices heard. And now, we can do so online as well.
