Firewood is also in short supply.

The French press never ceases to touch.

Either he calls the chimney a rocket, or he justifies the girls who are zigzagging, they say, they just waved their hands, statically stretching their fingers up.

He keeps talking about the Russian energy noose, with which the evil Moscow strangles the poor Europeans, forcing them to save on everything.

And then the LCI channel surpassed everyone when it did not notice the protests in its own capital - Paris.

During a discussion about the consequences of the sanctions against Russia, the presenter stepped back to ridicule what was shown on Russian TV in a haughty French manner.

Like, hundreds of French people on the streets demanded the resignation of Macron, they even let the sound, where you can hear people screaming.

But all this was called a hoax, a montage fiction, a typical Russian disinformation aimed, of course, at dividing French society.

Of course, the editor who wrote that off-screen text to the Moscow presenter, naturally, did not think about anything else at that moment.

He had a great goal - to split France.

Well, bullshit.

One of the organizers of the demonstration, politician Florian Filippo, leader of the Patriots party, was very offended by such a lack of attention from the French press.

There was a wave on Twitter, as a result, journalists had to apologize on the same Twitter.

Notably sat in a puddle.

But they discussed the energy crisis and the situation in France - a topic that has become number one in the media everywhere.

She relishes, thoroughly and meticulously understands with the involvement of economists and all sorts of experts.

That is why opinions are leaking out that, in fact, the entire price increase began even before the special operation in Ukraine, and the cost of energy carriers skyrocketed not because of Russia, but precisely because of European sanctions.

In addition, individual journalists and experts are forced to admit publicly that it was Europe itself that abandoned cheap gas, that it itself tied its electricity prices to the prices of blue fuel, that it set up this trap for itself and, after a dastardly kick from Washington, fell into it.

Why mean?

Yes, because the Americans, as always, are in the black.

While Europe is crumbling, they are making huge money on the resale of democratized fuel and gas.

Annoyed Swiss journalists wrote about this.

But it is difficult to stop the heavy European bureaucratic machine, which, hiding behind the fig leaf of concern for democratic values, is sliding into the abyss.

And at the same time, it updates anti-records in the ratings of its managers (you can’t really call them leaders).

After all, face, reputation will be lost.

Therefore, they are ready to fall to the bitter end.

The accusations against Moscow are, in fact, groundless.

Moscow reacts to the situation.

And if the typical defect of a Siemens gas turbine is an oil leak that threatens to blow up the entire plant, then no one will start it.

Europe, on the other hand, wants all countries to do everything in accordance with high safety standards, according to rules that are clearly spelled out and fixed.

Well, let's play by your rules.

Why are they suddenly upset?

The French did not pay the full cost specified in the contract - they stopped receiving gas.

"How so!

yelled in Paris.

“Won’t they bend over and hold on to the crumbs that we agree to pay them, albeit in violation of the agreements fixed on paper?”

But they won't!

Everything!

They are very worried about the fact that, despite the restrictions imposed, Russia has earned much more from sales than before.

RTL put it this way: Russia is drowning in cash, we're flooded with it, there's too much of it, so we can afford to continue doing what we think is right and feel quite free about it.

We have other markets.

And the Europeans have few other options, and they have to pay a lot for them, travel, beg, humiliate themselves, promise mountains of gold.

And then bam - and they don’t believe anymore.

And you have to repeat it all over again in another country.

For some reason they don't want to talk either.

Unusual, right?

While they are looking for, in France they are trying to restrain electricity tariffs for the population.

Maintain the illusion that everything is under control.

But there is no more money.

Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire warns about this, the one who always wanted to crush Russia, bringing down a wave of sanctions on it and forming the most powerful bloc on the planet with the United States.

Looks like something went wrong.

Paris is spending €32 billion on tariff blocking and gasoline discounts, but there is an important nuance.

The measure does not affect businesses.

And here the most interesting begins.

Everyone heard about the threat of the collapse of the German industry.

What happens to French?

Yes, the same.

Exorbitant bills stop activity.

The foundry in Muret gives concrete figures: in 2019 it paid €750,000 for energy, and expects between €6 million and €10 million next year. The company's turnover is about €20 million per year.

French steelmaker Ascometal has announced two three-week production shutdowns in November and December.

Cristal d'Arques, where glass and crystal are made, has transferred 1,600 of its 5,000 employees to a shorter work week.

His gas bills have already quadrupled and could rise to another €260 million next year.

Production becomes unprofitable.

Glassmaker Duralex has been shutting down furnaces for four months since November, putting 250 employees on partial unemployment benefits.

Nyrstar NV, the world leader in the zinc and lead market, has problems.

Vert Marine is closing more than 30 swimming pools and sports clubs as energy bills have risen from €15m to €100m. Ski resorts risk staying closed this winter as lifts eat up a lot of energy.

One pulls the other, and entire production chains are disrupted.

This means that the place of French, German and other European companies can be taken by others from outside the EU, which have no problems with such expensive energy.

It's all going to this.

For example, in the Netherlands, where they want to take away cheap agricultural land from farmers under the guise of a green agenda.

Authorities say they need to meet European emission reduction standards.

And they want to do this at the expense of farmers, although they feed the entire European Union.

In terms of the volume of products sold, the Netherlands ranks second in the world!

And it's hard to believe that their own managers want to destroy this industry with their own hands, and cut out the livestock.

There will be food, but it will have to be purchased, for example, in Brazil, where they will produce more for export.

It will be cheaper, the quality is different, because the standards are different.

Globally, this still won’t save the planet: it left there, it arrived here.

But where the thousands of unemployed ruined farmers will go is the question.

Therefore, it is not surprising that people across Europe are starting to march in protest.

And they do it not at all under Russian flags, their own ass is much closer to them.

So all the attempts of hysterical politicians to tell that it is all pro-Russian agents who are taking people to the streets are nonsense and stupidity.

And it’s also fear — the fear that for once you’ll have to answer for your short-sighted amateurish actions and words not yet with your head, of course, those days have already passed — but at least with a warm armchair in a cozy office.

If you manage to heat it up.

And firewood, they say, is also in short supply now.
