Thanks for the extensive comment, but unfortunately the EU can't take Hungary to court. They also ignored the ICC order to arrest Netanyahu. I know I sound very cynical by quoting this, but it seems a very true to me (and Orban) right now.
Laws without enforced consequences are merely suggestions.
This probably violates a bunch EU human rights, but what is the EU gonna do? They really need to find tools because freezing the cashflow is obviously not stopping him.
The legislation targets everything sold in the eu, no matter where the seller is from
I thought what a weird choice for an image for this article, but turns out the article itself doesn't have one and the image is actually the video thumbnail of a video with 'International headlines from ABC News'.
Even if it doesn't you don't want a country with an abusive government to have intel it can use to pressure you into doing whatever they want.
I presume and expect them to as well, just really hoping they don't take the word burner too serious
I hope they don't toss them out like criminals do, so much e-waste already.
We also need a push for lowering our energy consumption, put some industries into some for of subsidised hibernation just like restaurants during covid. Turning off the lights of a bunch of monuments is a nice symbol, but we use so much power (= gas) in non-essential industries. For example the production of furtilizer, an essential good that requires loads of gas, can be cut back a lot with more efficient food consumption (/ less food being wasted). We are used to a lot of luxury and this greatly increases the power LNG-exporting countries hold over us.
Didn't get it was meant as sarcasm
I don't think you understand the meaning of free market or didn't fully read the article, because their problem is the free market wanted to sell it and a Chinese firm bought it. They no longer want to sell vital infrastructure to Chinese firms and thus no longer want that part of the market to be free.
I'm not saying they suddenly switched sides, most of him defend him like usual, but there is both people on tv who say they're disappointed in them as people I know personal. They are losing credibility since they are in the government.
Just like there was nothing wrong with Jews, they need a public enemy and they can't pick people from the majority so they've picked non-whites non-straights and non-females. Also lines up with the Christian believe system, which have been using LGBTQ people as scapegoat since they stopped burning witches.
