According to Observer.com, energy and food prices have soared, inflation rates have remained high, and the cost of living is intensified ... Some European countries governments have unfavorable response, and have accumulated deep complaints. According to the Austrian News Agency (APA) recently reported that more than 32,000 people in the country have taken the streets of eight major cities such as Vienna in the capital to protest against inflation and the failure of the domestic government to resolve the crisis of living costs. The largest scale, about 20,000 people still insisted on participating in bad weather. These demonstrators require the Austrian government to introduce specific measures to respond to the current inflation, increase wages, and levy excessive profit taxes on large enterprises. The banner of the on -site demonstrators said "We want to eat, warm up, and survive!", "Reduce prices", "Improving 10%of pensions" and other slogans to express their anger in the government inaction.
The high inflation rate of European countries has a direct connection with its soaring energy prices. At the beginning of September, the Seventh -way Group and the European Union decided to implement the price limit on Russia's oil and natural gas products to upgrade the energy struggle between the two parties. Russia has suspended the gas supply of Beixi pipelines directly indefinitely, which undoubtedly exacerbated the European energy crisis and once again promoted the continued rise in energy prices in European countries. It is reported that in August this year, the inflation rate of 19 countries in the euro zone reached 9.1%, the highest level since the record. The inflation rate in August is as high as 9.3%. Now that Russia has suspended the gas supply of Beixi pipelines, the price of oil and gas in Europe, including Austria, will inevitably rise, and even its inflation rate may increase further.
Judging from the current response measures of European society, it cannot effectively control the rise in energy prices. The living costs of European people this winter will inevitably increase. And if the European Union continues to confront Russia, Russia may be completely disconnected this winter. By then, Europe will face a situation where airlessness can be available, and people who are frozen for this will naturally breed dissatisfaction. At that time, social problems in Europe would be more complicated. Actions like this to the streets to carry out protests are likely to sweep the entire Europe. After all, Europe follows the United States to fight sanctions on Russia without bringing any benefits to the people. Instead, the inflation rate continues to rise, and even heating cannot be guaranteed, which will naturally cause social dissatisfaction.
This is not the first country to protest a large -scale parade in Europe. On September 3, tens of thousands of Czech people gathered in the Vatlaf Plaza in the center of the capital Prague to protest. The organizer said that the number of protesters exceeded 100,000, and the police estimated that at about 3 pm that day, the demonstrations reached 70,000. The Czech demands are almost consistent with the Austrian demands. They all require the government to solve the problem of rising inflation, especially the problem of continuous rise in energy prices and heating in winter. Before the winter, Europe seems to enter the "cold winter" in advance. The EU's sanctions against Russia continued to stop, and its energy price is difficult to control. After all, supply is less than demand, and naturally it will cause the price to rise.
Russia holds the European energy killing device, which is invincible. Europe has been inseparable from Russia's energy supply in recent years. It is impossible to strangle Russia completely. In this winter, the energy game of both sides will be seen. If European countries constantly outbreak various parade demonstrations, they are likely to compromise with Russia, and then cross this winter with the help of Russia. It can be said that Europe wants to slowly get rid of the dominant position of Russia's oil and gas resources. It does not happen overnight. It takes several years. It will lose losses with Russia to Russia, but it is clear that European losses may be greater. At the time when the European and Russian energy trade decoupled, China and Russia's "Siberian Power-2" should also be completed, and Russia's oil and gas resources will be continuously transported to China. At that time, Europe's energy restrictions and sanctions on Russia will be even more deterrent.
It is foreseeable that the winter days of European countries are not good, and only the heating problem will make governments shame. Perhaps major German and France and other countries have to smash money to survive and buy oil and gas resources from the outside price. Other small countries may not be able to hold it up. After all, when the Czech and Austria have not yet come in winter, the Ten Thousand People ’s Congress has begun. The best way in Europe is to ease the relationship with Russia and cancel the energy sanctions and price limit on Russia. In this way, it can achieve a win -win situation.
