Orbán reveals the art of gas hoarding: 'We do it just like Liepāja does with sunny days'

Viktor Orbán announced this week that Hungary is cutting off gas supplies to Ukraine, having supposedly invented a revolutionary concept - it's better to hoard gas than to share it. This is about as logical as having a picnic in Rose Square in the middle of winter, but Orbán has his own logic.

'We do it just like Liepāja does with sunny days - we keep them all for ourselves,' explained some Hungarian official who clearly has never been to our city. In Liepāja, we don't stockpile sunny days - we savor them to the last moment, because we know the next one might not come until November.

Russia's 'Druzhba' pipeline has been damaged for months, but Orbán keeps demanding that Ukraine fix it between bomb explosions. It's like asking Liepāja's municipal services to repair a well in Rose Square while the Song and Dance Festival is happening there - technically possible, but practically absurd.

With elections approaching on April 12th, Orbán is increasingly playing the 'bad boy' role in the EU. Media reports that even Russian intelligence has offered to stage an assassination attempt against him to improve his election prospects. It's like saying Liepāja's weather is so bad that even meteorologists have started lying in weather forecasts - absurd, but in our case, this actually happens.
