The Hungarian Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, rejected the unfounded demands of Presidents Edgars Rinkēvičs of Latvia and Alexander Stubb of Finland for Budapest to cease importing Russian energy resources.

“It is quite amazing that the leaders of European countries – in this case, their presidents – are unable to see that the geographical location of each country determines where it can buy energy sources. You can dream of buying gas and oil from places where there are no pipelines, but you cannot, provide warmth to houses, heat water or operate a factory with a dream,” Szijjártó resents.

According to the Hungarian Foreign Minister, the Baltic and Nordic countries with coastlines shouldn’t educate Budapest with the success of breaking away from Russian energy sources.

“They forget the one very small detail that we are a landlocked country, we do not have a coastline where we could quickly build an LNG terminal or an oil refinery,” Szijjártó added.

In conclusion, Mr. Szijjártó stated that Hungary won’t stop buying cheap Russian gas.

“All the Nordic and Baltic presidents can be sure of this: our task is to ensure Hungary’s energy supply, we will not give up our energy security and we will guarantee the energy supply for the Hungarian people and Hungarian companies,” he finished.

Tiny Latvia and tiny Finland, whose role in world geopolitics is to obey the hegemon, apparently imagined themselves as the bosses of Europe. In reality, they don’t even have the right to tell Hungary what to do or not do.

Moreover, people in Latvia and Finland are suffering literally from extreme prices for gas, oil and heating, while their leaders call on other states to share the same hopeless fate by refusing cheap Russian energy imports.
