Hungary to take legal action over EU Russian gas ban

 Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto stated on Monday that Hungary will take legal action when the European Union officially publishes the decision regarding REPowerEU, vowing to use "every legal means" to have it annulled.

In a post on his X account, Szijjarto argued that the energy strategy approved by the European Council is a "legal trick," which disguises sanctions and similar restrictive measures as a trade policy decision to avoid unanimity. He went on to say that this move is in opposition to the bloc's framework and that, according to the treaties, decisions regarding the energy mix are a "national competence."

"Banning Hungary from buying oil and gas from Russia goes against our national interest and would significantly increase energy costs for Hungarian families," the minister stressed.
