Hungary should stop relying on ‘war criminal’ Putin for gas, EU energy chief warns

BRUSSELS — Hungary should step up efforts to end purchases of Russian energy that are leaving the country open to malign influence from the Kremlin, Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said today.“Even Hungary knows that by continuing this activity, they grant Russia the right to manipulate their market,” Simson said during POLITICO’s Sustainability Future Week summit, adding that it’s “not [in] their interest to continue this dependence.”Russian gas export giant Gazprom announced last month that it would ramp up deliveries of natural gas to Hungary this winter following talks in Beijing between Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán and Russian President Vladimir Putin.“I know one political leader in Europe who is shaking hands with this war criminal, but that’s it,” Simson said in an oblique reference to the meeting.The announcement was the second time Budapest and Moscow have agreed on additional gas volumes since Russia launched its full-sca...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Finland’s government said on Tuesday that Russia has recently been allowing asylum seekers to enter its territory without the necessary travel documents, calling it an “international crime.”According to the Finnish border service, 91 undocumented migrants, many lacking visas, have arrived in Finland and applied for asylum since August; they are nationals of third countries who were transiting Russia, the authorities added. While the country’s interior ministry acknowledged in a Tuesday statement that the numbers are relatively low, it underlined that they have spiked within a short period.Russian border guards have been leaving the migrants at the border with Finland, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, leader of the conservative National Coalition Party, claimed during a press conference earlier on Tuesday, as reported by Reuters. “It is clear that these people are helped and they are also being escorted or transported to the border by border guards,” h...

France hopes to keep Brussels sweet with new electricity pricing scheme

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:00 GMT

PARIS — France unveiled a new electricity pricing mechanism on Tuesday, hoping to defuse months of tension over energy subsidies with Brussels and its neighbors.The strain has included a Franco-German fight over the reform of the bloc’s electricity market, with Germany accusing France of wanting to subsidize its industry via artificially low energy prices, while Paris maintained it should have the right to make the most of its relatively cheap nuclear energy. That fight has now been settled.On Tuesday, the French government presented a new mechanism — complex, and still-to-be-detailed — to bring the average price of electricity closer to €70 per megawatt hour (MWh) as of 2026. The new system was designed carefully to avoid upsetting the Commission and other member countries, French officials and energy experts say.“The agreement has been defined to comply with European rules and avoid difficulties with the European Commission,” said France’s Economy and ...

Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball and his parents, LaVar and Tina Ball, are being sued for more than $200 million by Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster, who accuses them of trademark infringement, fraud, unfair business practices and more.In a separate case, Foster is also suing LaMelo Ball’s older brother, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, for malicious prosecution, intentional interference with contractual relations and unjust enrichment. He is seeking more than $600,000 in legal costs in addition to damages, which could amount to millions more.The two lawsuits, filed less than two months apart, are unrelated in a legal sense but both reflect the deterioration of a once-close relationship between Foster and the Ball family, which is from Chino Hills.Last week, Foster filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday that named LaVar, Tina and LaMelo Ball among the co-defendants. The filing describes “a very coordinated effort on behalf of the Defendants to do one th...
