We have entered an era of wars and conflicts, where everyone relentlessly pursues their own national interests. Only those countries can successfully overcome the challenges ahead that are members of well-functioning alliance systems.
Venezuela possesses the largest oil reserves in the world. Any conflict that affects global oil production also affects fuel prices. In recent years, Hungary has strengthened its resilience to energy crises. However, no one can fully shield themselves from the effects of global processes, so even with all the measures taken so far, it is in our interest that the conflict does not drag on, that the situation in Venezuela is stabilized as soon as possible, and that energy prices do not rise in Hungary.
From the hundreds of Hungarians who were evacuated from Venezuela years ago, we know what kind of oppressive, dictatorial system operated there. We hope that one day they will be able to return home.
Brussels and its Hungarian allies once again fail to understand any of this, and as usual, no one even consulted them about the situation.
The Hungarian government is in contact with all parties involved. The Hungarian people can be reassured that we will preserve Hungary’s peace and security, and that even in the most uncertain times we will fight against rising energy prices.
