The price is soaring, the daily product is broken, the house is sold out ... the European elite "Hamil", the people suffer

In the round of sanctions on Russia, Europe was eventually "anti -bullish", and the high inflation shocked all ordinary people on the European land, and forced some people to go to the streets to protest. Part of the reason for all this is that Europe follows the US sanctions on Russia. Relevant experts told the Global Times reporter in an interview that the current core division of Europe is the European and Elite European of ordinary people. At present, it is the political elite of European sanctions on Russia. They are obsessed with sanctions against Russia and over the people's lives. The EU's inflation will also last for a period of time. The EU's policy of calming prices will be tested, and the European people will continue to suffer at high prices.

Under the highest inflation ever, "a friend of mine has to sell the house"

"This time, the price increase of the huge waves has shocked my life in all aspects." Clemens from Nuremberg is a doctoral student. Her live in a comprehensive rise in German prices suffered a severe test. The European Union's sanctions Russia were eventually "anti -baying", pushing the EU's level of inflation to the highest ever, and prices rising in turns are sweeping the entire European land. Ordinary people like Clemences could not be spared.

In an interview with the Global Times reporter, Clemence was helpless. The cruel reality gave her the first horse. It was not a month since I moved to Berlin in April. The landlord's notice of "ruthlessness": Because the price of natural gas was unexpectedly soaring, the rent must be raised from 778 to 825 euros.

According to the data released by the European Union Statistical Bureau on June 17 in Luxembourg, the inflation rate in the euro zone in May was as high as 8.1%, and further jumped on the basis of 7.4%in April. The EU Statistical Bureau explained on the official website that the "crime" of the rising inflation in the euro zone in May was the rise in energy prices, an increase of 39.1%.

And further traceability, Europe and even global energy including oil and natural gas prices have soared from the Russian -Ukraine conflict, and Western countries, including the European Union, sanctions on Russia's energy. It relies heavily on Russia's energy, but also wants to cut Russia's international revenue and expenditure in energy. EU countries have welcomed a comprehensive increase in prices during the sharp surge in oil and natural gas prices, and eventually let the low -income people living in Europe become a middle -income person who lives in Europe. Sacrifice.

Clemens told the Global Times reporter that although German prices have been rising, it has been relatively slow before. "But now it's different. The rowing mountains and the sea rose all over the sea, which completely impacted my life, and the rent was not overwhelming my last straw."

During the interview, the reporter learned that Clemens' lives have completely changed in the "anti -bull" caused by sanctions. Because of the surge in gasoline prices, Clemens did not hesitate to choose to carry carpooling with colleagues. The price of food in supermarkets is also rising. Edible oil has passed 1.7 euros from 1.2 euros. It has now increased by 2 euros per liter. In the end, a large -scale confession appeared, and I couldn't buy it. The supply of sporadic stars has also been labeled with a dazzling 4.99 euro.

"I don't dare to shop like before. Because the price is too high, I have to list the list before going to the supermarket. I only buy the necessities. "Reporter," I don't know how long this embarrassment day will last, because no one knows when the economic turmoil caused by the Russian and Ukraine conflict can end. "

In March after the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom began to ban the import of natural gas and oil imports from Russia. Energy relying on Russia's EU, it was not until April that it began to ban the import of Russian coal from August. In June, the European Union decided to impose the sixth round of sanctions on Russia and announced that it would stop importing 90%of Russian crude oil by the end of 2022 (Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, which can continue to import Russian crude oil).

On April 1, Russia aimed at the EU's energy weakness and launched a counterattack to launch a "ruble settlement order" in the European supply of natural gas. According to data from the EU Statistical Bureau, the European Union ’s imported from Russia accounted for 41%of its total usage, of which more than 90%of the imports of imports in Hungary, Latvia, Finland and other countries. Under the countermeasures of Russia, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and other countries, as well as some energy companies in Germany, France, and Italy have used rubles to pay natural gas funds. Poland, Bulgaria, Finland and other countries that refuse to pay for natural gas with rubles, as well as some companies in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany have been "linked" by Russia.

The pessimistic expectations of the natural gas market continuously pushed the price of natural gas in Europe, and it was difficult to replace Russia's natural gas, and it also caused Europe to fall into worries in insufficient natural gas in the winter of 2022.

However, the high price and shortage of oil and natural gas are not all. More importantly, as basic industrial raw materials and necessities, oil and natural gas pushed up the prices of almost all semi -finished products and finished products involved in the downstream areas, which reflected in the EU Statistical Bureau's computer. In front of the people reflected in the bottom of Europe is the rising prices and increasingly dwarfed consumption capabilities, as well as pessimism and dissatisfaction with the status quo in the future.

"Global Times" reporter also interviewed Sonia Vanden in the Netherlands. She is a reporter from a news institution. She went to Wudong three times after Russia and Ukraine in March for more than a month. She found that the Russian conflict has changed the lives of all Dutch people. The entire Netherlands has been drowned in rising prices, and the increasing cost of living, especially natural gas and power expenditures, has made it difficult for ordinary people to afford it. She told a reporter from the Global Times that when the price of gasoline is the highest, it can rise 100%a month, which leads to an average of about 300 euros of oil costs of about 300 euros per month, which has led to an increased water fee for two children. Just these, the monthly expenditure of a Dutch family will reach 500-600 euros.

Sonia Vandende told a reporter from the Global Times that "all people have been greatly affected. One of my friends had to sell the house and rent a caravan in a resort to reduce the house because of the house. I have to spend a large amount of expenses. Then, we also found that the business of this resort camp was popular, and many people came to seek a "refuge". In the supermarket, I found the same feeling as Clemens in the German supermarket. Edible oil continued to increase prices, and even once disconnected. Food prices are constantly rising. The price of bread has almost turned, and one liter of sunflower seed oil is now sold for 3-4 euros.

Europeans live under the hot water of high prices, and only the exception of the rich

Many of the EU sanctions on Russia are formed in the Belgian capital of the European Union's headquarters, Bulssel, and on June 20, 70,000 Belgians gathered in the Brucer street parade to protest, expressing their dissatisfaction with prices soaring. Many large unions in Belgium have joined the parade, and some parade held a slogan "higher wages, more respect" and "too high living costs, and we need higher wages". Data show that in May, Belgium's inflation rate reached 8.97%, the highest level since 1982. Data from the National Bank of Belgium show that low -income groups are barely, and more and more people cannot pay bills.

Among the protests on the day, some European people also aimed at the focus of the European government's policies. They believe that the government has spent too much resources in NATO and Ukraine, but ignores European people's livelihood issues. According to European news and television stations, on the day of protests, some slogans and banners did criticize Belgium's execution of the EU sanctions on Russia. According to the Iranian National Television report, many people also expressed similar views among the protests. They believe that too much energy is on the war, but they have ignored diplomatic negotiations. According to a video uploaded by the Iranian National Television, a middle -aged man complained that "their (European government) has the money to buy expensive weapons for Ukraine, but there is no enough money to relieve us." Another protesters pointed out that NATO request requests National defense expenditure accounts for 2%of the annual GDP. The indicator is worthless.

Almost at the same time, thousands of people on the streets of London, UK, launched a parade on Saturday on Saturday. They held a slogan "Stopping Warfare instead of reducing benefits" to protest the rise in prices and continued to increase the cost of living. They ask the government to take more measures, improve salary and improve work conditions. When the demonstrators passed the Prime Minister's Mansion at No. 10 Tangning Street, they all reported their booing to show their dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Johnson.

The data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on the 22nd shows that the inflation rate in the UK in May reached 9.1%, a new high in 40 years. Among them, the price of food and beverages rose 8.7%year -on -year, a new high since March 2009.

At the same time, the inflation rates of several major EU major economies in Germany were 8.7%, Spain 8.5%, and 7.3%in Italy. The situation was not optimistic. Although the situation in France was slightly better, it was also at a historical high.

French International Broadcasting Station bluntly stated in the show on June 14 that under the influence of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the pressure on the daily consumption of people's livelihood due to inflation, and the sorrows of the small people were mourning and falling each other when shopping. Today's major supermarkets in France have increased various price reductions to attract consumers. In the face of continuous rising inflation, those French people with the smallest income have begun to use deposits and eat old books!

Sonia Vandende also told the Global Times reporter that all Europeans live under the deep price of high prices, and only those rich are exceptions. She questioned that in the face of the current situation of the people, the Dutch government and other European countries did not make any positive adjustments and help for the lives of the people. When Europeans fell into a trapped life due to high prices, the government's relief behavior was more like a show, and only very few Europeans got relief. More people get only government loans.

In an interview with the Global Times reporter, Xu Poiling, director of the Russian Economic Office of Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asian Institute of Social Sciences, said: Europe is actually split, and in different dimensions, it is manifested as two European and contradictory European Europe. Essence He believes that the core division of Europe is the European and Elite European of ordinary people. At present, it is the political elite of European sanctions on Russia. They are obsessed with sanctions against Russia and over the people's lives.

Xu Po Ling analyzed, "In fact, before the conflict of Russia, European political elites have been committed to the so -called climate agenda and other matters, not the development of the socio -economic. , But put the people's lives in an unimportant position. "One" mutual fight "of one Europe and the other Europe

In the unified action on Russia's sanctions, Europe "four -point cracking". For example, Hungary has always opposed sanctions against Russia due to serious dependence on Russian energy. At the EU Foreign Minister Conference held on May 16th, the EU failed to reach an agreement in the sixth round of sanctions in Russia because Hungary opposed.

Xu Po Ling told the Global Times reporter that first of all, European manifestations were "political Europe" and "economy Europe". Sanctions against Russia are "political Europe", while "economic Europe" opposes this sanctions. While "political Europe" sanctions in Russia, it actually opposes the "European Europe" and brings great uncertainty and negative effects to the European economy.

Secondly, Europe also shows European Europe and Europe, which is a political community represented by the EU. EU countries implement a unified policy on sanctions on Russia. It is also inconsistent in demand. Each country's dependence on Russia's energy is different, resulting in different attitudes to Russia in each country.

In addition, Xu Po Ling also said that Europe also manifests the two sides between European and old Europe. New European countries such as Poland, Lithuania, and Czech Republic have historical grievances with Russia. They are very active in sanctions on Russia, and even "kill the enemy a thousand to damage 800". In the traditional sense, old European countries are not so aggressive.

Xu Po Ling said, "So this sanctions are political European, elite European and community European and new Europe, and the European, ethnic countries of the people are injured in this sanctions."

"Sanctioning Russia is not the real interests of Europe. French President Macron and German Chancellor Tsubitz have expressed the same meaning, that is, Europe is a neighbor that Russia cannot move. It is difficult to destroy Russia and even weaken Russia. "Xu Po Ling pointed out," Therefore, in this case, Europe adopted an extreme anti -Russia and Russia. Europe. "

Even in the hot summer, Clemens didn't have any warmth in her heart, she has begun to worry about the heating of rental houses this winter. She told a reporter from the Global Times, "The German people generally have no confidence in the life before the war. The average population of this country has a large population, and the price increase has not only the individual, but also countless fragile families in this country."

Ding Chun, director of the European Issues Research Center of Fudan University, said in an interview with the Global Times reporter that the EU's governance of inflation is very tricky, because the EU's economy has been in a shrinking. Call the economy to stagnate. In addition, the economic conditions of various countries in the EU are different, and each country has different ability to adapt to monetary policy. Therefore, the EU pays attention to the differences and imbalances between internal economies, and it has been hesitant to make chess. At present, this round of inflation in the European Union will continue for a period of time. The EU's policy of restraining prices will be tested, and the European people must also suffer between high prices.

Faced with the American "co -ally", the European political elite "rushed up all at once"

In the crisis of inflation, the cost of life has soared, European reflection should not follow the United States blindly. According to previous media interviews, some German experts said that Europe should not follow the United States to impose sanctions on Russia blindly because it is ordinary people in European countries. German left -wing party member Andre Hongke said, "The Russian -Ukraine conflict has weakened European countries and strengthened the United States, whether it is economy or military. So I want to say that the current situation of the entire situation is not Europe, but the United States. "

Claudio Salvato, a bank software design company in Parma, a bank software design company in northern Italy, said in an interview with the Global Times reporter that "the United States Democratic Party is the manipulator of thoughts and the masses. They manipulate public opinion and guide us (Europe) (Europe). Economic and military confrontation with Eurasian countries. It continues to expand through NATO, provokes war in each country and obtains control, and is called freedom and democracy by them, but this is actually another form of imperialism. And more aggressive. "

He also told a reporter from the Global Times, "We (we (with Russia) can continue to get along peacefully. We buy the items we need to pursue economic development and life happiness from Russia, but the goal of the United States is to split Russia into many small countries. The mainstream of the West and I are the opposite of the West. I think this war was deliberately provoked in the West. "

Xu Po Ling pointed out in the interview, "In sanctions against Russia, we must pay special attention to the concept of the concept advocated by Elite Europe.

Xu Po Ling believes that the "spiritual ancestral hall" common to Europe and the United States' political elite is located in Europe. In terms of sanctioning Russia, European elites and American elites have formed a fit. He said, "In essence, Americans have not stood on the actual interests of Europe to consider issues, and European sanctions on Russia also manifests the implementation of the American spirit in Europe. This execution is competing for world leadership or 'morality or' morality of morality The chance of leadership '. "Russian President Putin also had a precise summary at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 17. He said: "The EU has completely lost sovereignty, and its elites are dancing with other people's tones. The true interests of Europeans and European companies have been completely ignored and put aside."

Xu Po Ling said, "These political elites that dominate the highest power in Europe shared a set of concepts with the American elite in spirit. When the former US President Trump and Europe performed 'division', they were uncomfortable. Later, "United Leaders", so they were very happy and couldn't wait, and they rushed up all at once. They knew that in the economy, Europe would rely on the United States. So at this time they had to preach the same things as the United States to prove their orthodox. All they need to do is to throw all the problems to Russia, and just throw the pot to Putin. "
