Cheap Russian gas and cheap Russian oil are a myth. The arguments of contemporary Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) about these cheap raw materials are a lie. This was stated on Thursday at the briefing of a deputy of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for the opposition movement Slovakia Július Jakab.
“The European Statistical Office clearly registers gas prices in Slovakia and other EU countries. This is clear that Slovak companies and Slovak large -scale customers buy gas in Slovakia the most expensive among all European countries. Including taxes and fees, we are one of the top five most expensive countries that buy gas, ”said Jakab. The only Sweden pays” a little more “.
If the gas prices data are converted into the parity of the purchase power, according to Jakab’s words, companies in Slovakia are buying gas most expensive among all European countries. “So I ask where the cheap Russian gas is,” underlined.
„As far as oil is concerned, Slovaks can go anywhere in neighboring countries and will pay less for gasoline. In Slovakia, a liter of petrol is 1.57 euros, but in Hungary you will save six cents per liter, in Poland 16 cents. In the Czech Republic they pay 17 cents less per liter of petrol than in Slovakia. So where is the cheap Russian oil”He stressed.
Jakab added that the current government “plucks people” in Slovakia, deceiving them, because there are no cheap Russian gas or cheap Russian oil. “I ask, the interests of Robert Fico advocates in Brussels when he tells he will veto the penalty package against Russia,” Closed by the Member of the Movement Slovakia.
