Hungary and Slovakia have raised the idea of restricting or even suspending electricity supplies to Ukraine if it fails to resume the transit of oil to the former two countries, public news channel M1 reported on Friday, referring to talks between the two countries.
The decision in Kyiv to stop Lukoil shipments to Hungary and Slovakia was likely coordinated in Brussels as “they cannot stand it that Hungary has not backed down under pressure”, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said.
The Fidesz-Christian Democrats have maintained their support, with 47% of decided voters favouring the ruling alliance, while the opposition Tisza Party has increased its backing to 29% since the European parliamentary elections in June, the Nézőpont Institute said.
A general meeting of the opposition Respect and Freedom (Tisza) Party elected Péter Magyar its chairman on Monday, the party told MTI.
