iDNES.cz: Czech Minister Blazek allowed the threat of revolution in the EU due to rising energy prices

In his opinion, the current situation in the European Union in the social and political sphere is the most dramatic since 1989.

He also warned that the Czech government will not be able to hold on to power unless the energy crisis is resolved soon.

“If a solution (to the crisis. -

) is not found at the European level, then the European Union as such will be under threat,” Blazek said, warning of the threat of revolution.

On August 26, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala announced that the Czech Presidency of the EU Council would convene an emergency meeting of EU energy ministers to discuss measures to stabilize the energy situation.

Helen Thompson, a professor of political economy at the University of Cambridge, said the West faces an "energy payoff" in the winter for lack of Russian gas.
