If Iran disintegrates as a result of the current war, a significant region of the world could become ungovernable and uncontrollable, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, quoted by the MTI agency, BTA reports.
Regarding the consequences of the conflict, Orban said that the price of Brent oil has increased by one fifth in one month. War leads to an increase in prices, so war is bad for Hungarians, he said. Similarly, if Hungary cannot import gas from Russia, utility prices for households and businesses could also increase by up to two and a half times compared to the current level, Orbán explained.
What Brussels is doing on the latter issue is blatant deception, intrigue and a mockery of the rule of law. Having failed to ban the import of Russian energy resources, they now want to adopt this measure as a trade policy decision that does not require a unanimous decision, Orbán said.
Orbán said that the withdrawal of this “hard-won right“ would mean “the end of the thousand-year-old Hungarian statehood as we know it“, because Hungary's foreign and economic policy would not be decided in Budapest, but by bureaucrats in Brussels.
