500-600 Hungarian filling stations may close by June 1, said Gábor Egri, president of the Alliance of Independent Gas Stations on Inforádió about the government’s plans to extend the price cap on fuel to July 1. The interest group has proposed a three-point plan to the government to assist filling stations.
He added that it was unethical for family-run businesses to bear the burden of subsidizing mobility for Hungary’s 3.5 million drivers. [Magyar Hang]
