Orban: Extraordinary situation requires extraordinary measures

An extraordinary situation justifies extraordinary measures, and the European Union must also understand this, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday in connection with a demand by the European Commission that Hungary suspend "discriminatory fuel prices" against cars with foreign number plates. Orban said in an interview to public broadcaster Kossuth Radio that he was asking the EU to acknowledge that there is an emergency, and that extraordinary measures may be needed in countries closer to the war zone such as "differentiating between number plates and vehicles based on nationality".
