A fresh crack has appeared inside the European Unionās energy front.
On February 2, Hungarian Foreign Minister PĆ©ter SzijjĆ”rtĆ³ confirmed that the EUās decision to ban member states from purchasing Russian oil and gas has now been formally published ā and Hungary is fighting back.
š What just happened:
ā¢ Hungary has filed a lawsuit with the EU Court
ā¢ The challenge targets the EU-wide prohibition on Russian energy purchases
ā¢ This directly confronts Brusselsā strategy to cut dependence on Moscow
š Why this is explosive:
Energy policy isnāt just economics ā itās national survival.
For Hungary, Russian oil and gas remain critical to price stability and energy security.
š Bigger implications:
ā¢ Growing internal fractures within the EU
ā¢ Legal battles could delay or weaken enforcement
ā¢ Energy unity in Europe is being stress-tested
ā¢ Markets may begin pricing policy fragmentation risk
š The larger picture:
This isnāt just about oil and gas.
Itās about who controls energy decisions ā Brussels or national governments.
As geopolitical pressure rises, so do fault lines.
And Europeās energy map may be heading for another redraw.
