Pipeline flows resume after Orbán's defeat

Hungary's Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has blamed his party's recent election loss on foreign interference, specifically accusing Ukraine of turning Hungary into a 'secret service operational field.' This accusation follows the restoration of oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline, which had been blocked by Ukraine for months, after the defeat of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's party. The Swiss publication Die Weltwoche previously highlighted this as an 'astonishing coincidence,' suggesting a geopolitical link between the election outcome and energy policy. Szijjártó's statement escalates diplomatic tensions between the two nations, framing the electoral setback as an act of foreign sabotage.
