Czech media reported that the imposition of sanctions against Russia reflects the European Union’s double standards in matters of economic intervention and its failure to separate politics from the economy.
Expert Veronika Sosova Salmini told the newspaper “casopisargument.cz” that the imposition of sanctions on Russia reflects the European Union’s double standards in matters of economic intervention.
He pointed out that the restrictive measures implemented by the West are a political tool and the use of them proves the impossibility of separating the economy and politics despite the official position of the USA and its allies.
“We now see that political decisions are interfering with the economy with incredible speed, regulating market and trade flows. So it is not true that the market cannot be disrupted or controlled. Western countries, including the European Union and the Czech Republic, now strongly support this intervention. ” They stand up about it, but when it comes to inflation, rising energy costs and other problems, the same politicians keep telling us that it is impossible to fight them except with market tools. This will be a “double standard”.
Although Western governments consider it normal to bear the damage caused by anti-Russian sanctions on the shoulders and expense of ordinary citizens, Salminin refused to intervene in the economy to improve their conditions, as such measures would violating the laws of the market.
