That was Orban’s plan: they deliberately didn’t look for alternatives to Russian oil, and you can’t switch the source of a full country in a blink. Building new pipes require time. There is a pipe from Croatia that could be used, but it only works for the other direction, it also takes time to make it usable for import. So it’s not really Magyar’s fault, you can’t undo 16 years of shenanigans in a moment. He is not even the PM yet, the new government will only form in a month. He only had one press conference. Or I don’t know what is the point of this article…
This is the only thing Magyar said about the topic, all others are speculations from the author:
At his first postelection press conference, Euronews reported, he said Hungary would continue seeking cheap energy from Russia. “No one can change geography, Russia and Hungary are here to stay,” Magyar said.



















What 40%? What are you writing about? I may miss something, this isn’t mentioned in the article and I don’t know about this.
Hungary doesn’t have a port, and afaik there are 2 ways we can get gas and oil currently: via the TurkStream pipe, or via the Druzhba pipe from Russia.
