Hungary's government has extended a price cap on fuel and some basic food items by two more months as consumer prices continue to rise in the Central European country, the prime minister said Wednesday.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a Facebook video that the cap on gasoline and diesel prices, which the government fixed in November at 480 Hungarian forints ($1.33) per liter, would continue until July 1. The cap on fuel prices was set to expire on Sunday, and this was the government's second extension.
