Nezopont: Most Hungarians ‘outraged’ by Ukrainian oil transit ban
Fully 69 percent of respondents in a recent Nezopont survey "finds it outrageous that Ukraine seeks to restrict oil transits to Hungary and Slovakia", while 77 percent said they looked to Brussels to mediate between the parties, the Nezopont Institute told MTI on Monday.
Twenty-two percent of respondents, however, said that the Ukrainian ban was acceptable.
Concerning details of the survey results, Nezopont said 47 percent of supporters of the opposition Democratic Coalition and Tisza Party criticised the Ukrainian move.
Concerning proposals under which the Hungarian government could restrict power supplies to Ukraine in response to the oil ban, 47 percent of respondents said they would support such a move, while 42 percent said the opposite.
The survey was conducted between July 29-31, by asking a representative sample of 1,000 adults by phone.
