EU Energy Policy Sparks Geopolitical Tensions

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán and Slovak PM Robert Fico criticized the European Union's plan to phase out Russian oil and gas at the Mária Valéria Bridge anniversary event.
Their opposition stems from economic and energy security concerns due to reliance on Russian supplies after Ukraine's 2022 invasion.
They argue the European Union's peace rhetoric masks aggression, calling the EU a war project and refusing external energy sourcing instructions.
Slovak PM Robert Fico asserted countries have sovereign right to choose energy sources, while the European Union plans to impose tariffs on Russian oil through Hungary and Slovakia.
Their stance challenges the European Union's unified response to Russia's war, indicating ongoing geopolitical friction over energy policy and regional autonomy.
