Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar said at his first press conference after winning the 12 April election that the country will continue purchasing Russian energy and prioritise the cheapest available oil, a stance that appears to contrast with his campaign pledge to phase out Russian energy imports by 2035.
"No one can change geography, Russia and Hungary are here to stay. The government will procure crude oil and gas in the cheapest and safest way possible," Magyar told reporters.
