Hungarians receive false information from the authorities regarding Ukraine's accession to the EU

The Hungarian government
Source:  European truth

The Hungarian government, along with ballots for a "survey" of Hungarians about Ukraine's membership in the EU, has spread its counterarguments, which are based on manipulation and outright lies.

Points of attention

  • The Hungarian government is spreading false arguments and manipulation tactics to create a negative perception of Ukraine's accession to the EU among Hungarians.
  • The counterarguments provided by Budapest lack scientific support and are based on blatant lies, aiming to influence public opinion.
  • Ukraine's adoption of European norms is a requirement for EU accession, debunking claims such as the threat of the Ukrainian mafia infiltrating Europe, as presented by the Hungarian government.

Orban is being manipulated on the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU

Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs announced on March 29 that Hungarians had begun sending out ballots for a "survey" along with an information sheet outlining seven "risks" of Ukraine's accession to the EU from Budapest's perspective.

The first risk is that in the event of Ukraine's membership, Hungary will allegedly lose EU funding, "and all the money will go to Ukraine" (why "all" is not explained).

In addition, Brussels is calling for huge joint borrowing, which indicates that we will all become debtors together due to Ukraine's accession, says the Hungarian government video (which also does not explain what kind of borrowing is involved and how it is related to Ukraine).

Other "risks", according to Hungary, are related to the fact that Ukraine is a huge producer of agricultural products, so after accession "all EU funds will go to Ukrainian farmers", and the European market will be "open to low-quality, genetically modified Ukrainian goods".

At the same time, the Hungarian government ignores the fact that accession to the European Union requires Ukraine to adopt all European norms, including in the field of agriculture, so this statement is a blatant lie.

The Hungarian government spokesman also claims, without evidence, that Ukraine was "the center of drug trafficking and organized crime in Eastern Europe" even "before the war," so "accession to the EU will open the way for the Ukrainian mafia to enter Europe, and therefore Hungary."

Budapest's other arguments are that after Ukraine joins the EU, Ukrainians, as a cheap labor force, will "threaten jobs and pensions" in the European Union.

Ukrainians will also threaten public health because "there is no mandatory vaccination in Ukraine" (in fact, there is mandatory vaccination in Ukraine), and "Ukraine's hasty accession to the EU" will jeopardize the payment of the so-called 13th pension by the Orban government.

Such polls do not actually have legal force, and only a small percentage of Hungarian voters (up to 30%) actually participate in them. At the same time, Orbán's government often refers to the results of such polls as evidence that its policies have public support.

Indian authorities have denied entry to a local port to a tanker carrying Russian crude oil for state-owned Indian Oil Corp. due to a lack of proper documentation of its seaworthiness.

Points of attention

  • Indian authorities rejected entry of a tanker carrying Russian crude oil due to lack of proper seaworthiness documentation, causing a conflict with shipping regulations.
  • The tanker Andaman Skies, loaded with 767,000 barrels of oil, was denied entry at the port of Vadinar because it lacked necessary certificates and was over 20 years old.
  • Indian regulations require tankers over 20 years old to have seaworthiness certificates from recognized international associations, leading to the denial of entry for this vessel.

India banned the reception of a tanker with Russian oil

This is reported by Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to analysts from Kpler, the Honduran-flagged tanker Andaman Skies, which was built in 2004, loaded 767,000 barrels of oil at the port in Murmansk, Russia, on February 24 and was due to unload on March 30 at the port of Vadinar.

Interlocutors point out that Indian regulations require tankers over 20 years old to have a seaworthiness certificate issued by a member of the International Association of Classification Societies or an organization authorized by the local regulator.

The vessel was certified by a local consultancy company, Dakar Class, which is not recognized by Indian authorities.

The tanker is currently in the Arabian Sea between Oman and India, still fully loaded, and appears to have stopped moving.

According to sources, the ship was allowed to enter an Indian port last year because it had not been in service for 20 years at that time.
