Hungary to Sue EU for Ban on Russian Gas
"We do not accept this obviously unlawful solution contrary to European values, which was chosen by Brussels to shut down a national government that disagrees with it," Hungarian PM Viktor Orban told Kossuth Radio, referring to the EU decision to cut gas imports from Russia by late 2027.
"We are turning to the European Court of Justice," he said, adding the move by the EU requires unanimous voting which didn’t happen.
On October 20, EU member-states met in Luxembourg to discuss the plan to gradually phase our remaining gas imports from Russia. The move has been approved despite Hungary and Slovakia objecting the idea.
