Germany has openly threatened Hungary over its position on the Ukrainian oil blockade, but the government will not abandon national interests or allow Ukrainian actions to triple energy costs for Hungarian families, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Brussels on Monday.
"The Ukrainians are trying to take us for stupid concerning the Druzhba pipeline halted purely for political reasons, but we are not stupid people, we are Hungarians," the foreign minister said in Brussels on Monday.
Hungary is the only country in Europe that does not send money to Ukraine, and does not have an austerity package, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in Parliament on Thursday, at the Forum of Hungarian Lawmakers of the Carpathian Basin.
