[Global Times Ji Shuangcheng Qingmu in the UK and Germany, Ji Shuangcheng] Former British Prime Minister Brown wrote in the Guardian on the 6th, calling on the Conservative Government to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to deal with the high -cost life dilemma of grassroots people.

Brown said that whether the caregiver or candidate should approve the emergency budget as soon as possible, otherwise millions of British and retired elderly people will face "cold winter". He believes that due to the rise in energy prices, the "slow -explosive financial bomb" will explode in October. "How to solve the crisis of surge in living costs has become the key to determining the new party leader of the British ruling party in the future." The British "Independence" said that at the beginning of next year, the amount of British family energy bills will increase to £ 4,000 per year.

The lives of German people are not good. According to the German "Daily Mirror" reported on the 8th, the German landlord is now rising to rent prepaid as the natural gas is getting more and more expensive. From October, the German government will also levy natural gas price taxes, which means that each family pays an additional 1,000 euros per year. The Chairman of the German Policy Association, West Dokn, warned that one -third of the poverty -stricken people were unable to pay heating fees, which will cause millions of people to be trapped. (Data from the German Federal Bureau of Statistics show that in 2021, there are about 13 million poor people in the country.) Not only are ordinary people, high rent and soaring energy prices have made the lives of German middle class become more difficult.

The Finnish Broadcasting Corporation reported on the 8th that the country's president Shaoli Ninineto warned that "the European Union will face economic recession." The Wall Street Journal also said that as the winter approaches, the EU's economic situation will worsen further. In addition, due to the decline in living standards, the EU's stability or shake on Ukraine. Just as the Austrian presidential candidate Gerald Groz recently criticized the policies of some EU politicians on Twitter, "they reject Russia's natural gas first, and then complained that it is available. This is schizophrenia!"
