András Gyürk, a Fidesz Member of the European Parliament and member of the Patriots faction, expressed frustration over a lack of transparency. He questioned the European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) committee regarding agreements between the Hungarian government and Brussels concerning protected fuel prices and utility cost reductions.
Despite his inquiries, Gyürk stated he received no clear answers. He highlighted that the European Commission had previously opposed both measures.
