DK: Instead of Blatant Lying, Hungarian Government Should Withdraw Fuel Price Increase
- 20 Jan 2025 7:45 AM
After the government's excise tax increase, Hungarians pay the most for fuel in the region, and the Ministry of National Economy found it convenient to say that "the Ukrainian threat to oil supplies and American sanctions" are responsible for the high fuel prices.
It's a shame that these ridiculous sanctions and the war are once again only affecting Hungarian fuel prices, as refueling is cheaper everywhere outside our borders, except for Serbia, which is also dependent on Russia.
According to the Democratic Coalition, instead of lying, the government could have made up for the cheaper fuel prices by revoking the excise tax increase - this is what the DK demands!
It was not the war, not the sanctions, not George Soros, nor the transplanted kindergarteners who raised the Hungarian excise tax, but Viktor Orbán and Fidesz.
If we want to eliminate the cause of the high cost, we must put an end to government austerity and the Orbán regime responsible for them.
We, social democrats, are working for this, said László Varju, Vice-Chairman of the DK.
