Comment on the hot topic of Georgi Kadiev

Georgi Stoyanov Kadiev was born on August 28, 1966 in Burgas. He graduated from the German Language High School, a famous politician, journalist and economist.

He is currently chairman of the Normal State Civic Platform.

In the past, he was an MP from the BSP

The Bulgarian Socialist Party (abbreviated BSP) is in the 40th and 42nd National Assembly, he was also a municipal councilor from the left in Sofia, as well as a former Deputy Minister of Finance / 2005-2007 /.

Hungary introduces a 25% tax on the difference between Russian imported crude oil and the reference price of Brent oil.

For the last few months this difference is 30-40 $ / barrel.

This means that the Hungarian government will collect about $ 10 from every barrel of oil that Hungarian refineries buy.

With Hungary's daily refining capacity of 165,000 barrels, this means revenues from this tax of $ 602 million per year.

For Hungary, maintaining oil imports through the pipeline, but an embargo on offshore oil and hence high world oil prices, is a great option.

War is good business.

Will the Bulgarian government do something similar with Lukoil or will they continue to import their own Russian oil at inflated prices and pay European gasoline prices?
