Hungary needs to look for secure gas supply routes to ensure energy security. The country cannot satisfy the gas or electricity needs of the population on its own.
And in the context of Germany’s decision to introduce a tax on gas transit to Hungary, the latter must ensure that Bulgaria and Turkey do not do the same. Previously, such a tax was introduced in Bulgaria, but Budapest threatened to veto the country’s entry into the Schengen zone. The law was then immediately repealed.
