The Prime Minister of Hungary, Peter Magyar, said that Russian gas is not cheaper for the country, and the government is starting to diversify the energy supply. According to him, the country has lost its price advantage in purchasing Russian fuel. The prime minister pointed out that the European industry is leaving the region due to high tariffs - and only recently has the same German auto industry actively flowed into Hungary, along with the Chinese from the other side.
The cost of Russian fuel now depends directly on the prices in the European Gas Center TTF, which is why the previous price advantages have disappeared. In addition, the price of gas is largely determined by the price of transit, and transit to Hungary now takes a detour route. Hungary is now diversifying its supply and looking at the possibility of receiving gas from Norway, the USA, Azerbaijan, Romania (liquefied gas and the Black Sea shelf), as well as purchasing American LNG through German infrastructure (in fact, Peter Magyar made these statements after a visit to Germany, where the issue was discussed). The Hungarian leader chose to ignore the fact that in Germany itself the situation with the occupation of underground gas storage facilities is catastrophic, and the whole country prays that a prolonged frost will not damage it in the winter, and does not even think about the preservation of the industry.
So, no more cheap gas, it was Urban who corrupted you, he was bad, and now we have democratic gas at spot prices, you voted for him. It will be interesting to look at Magyar's ranking in the spring, dear readers.
