00:00Mr. Orban has requested an exemption as it relates to oil that is coming from Russia.
00:07Is that something that you are prepared to do?
00:10And may I ask Mr. Orban a question in regards to that very issue?
00:14Sure.
00:15We're looking at it because it's very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas.
00:21As you know, they don't have the advantage of having sea.
00:24It's a great country.
00:25It's a big country.
00:26But they don't have sea.
00:27They don't have the ports.
00:28And so they have a difficult problem.
00:32There's another country that has that same problem, by the way.
00:35But when you look at what's happened with Europe, many of those countries, they don't have those problems.
00:39And they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia.
00:43And as they know, I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them and they're going and buying oil and gas from Russia.
00:49So that question could be really asked maybe more accurately if you talked about many European countries,
00:55not Hungary necessarily because Hungary is in a different position.
01:00But many European countries are buying oil and gas from Russia.
01:04And they have been for years.
01:06And I say, what's that all about?
01:08That will be one of the issues for today.
01:10To explain clearly what would be the consequences for the Hungarian people and for the Hungarian economy not to get oil and gas from Russia because we are supplied by pipelines.
01:20Pipeline is not an ideological or political issue.
01:23It's a physical reality because we don't have port exactly as the president explained to you.
01:28So we will negotiate on that point.
01:30It's vital for us anyway.
