Hungary’s government has eliminated its protected fuel price cap, a move announced by Prime Minister Péter Magyar on Wednesday, June 18th. The decision has prompted immediate and sharp criticism, even from within the ruling Fidesz party. Gergely Gulyás, leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group, denounced the measure as “imprudent and dangerous,” characterizing it as a “grave mistake.” The removal of the price cap impacts millions of Hungarians and is expected to lead to increased fuel costs. The announcement has generated considerable controversy, as reported by Blikk. Gulyás’s public dissent highlights internal divisions regarding the economic policy shift. The change signifies a departure from previous government intervention in fuel prices.
