Bloomberg reported that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen should inform Europeans about the onset of a very harsh winter, emphasizing the need to clarify that this issue requires sacrifice in any development of the energy crisis.

And she noted in a newspaper article that “Von der Leyen is facing a driving test because she has to restore the trust of the Europeans, and in doing so, she must remain honest with them and say that she will spend next winter without Russian gas is a difficult task.” .

In the relevant context, the newspaper pointed out that “the EU authorities will have to cancel earlier decisions, for example, Germany should extend the operation of nuclear power plants, because it is very important to use “to the last breath” of all available energy sources so that factories do not stop and houses are not left without heating” , noting that “such decisions require strong political leadership, and this does not exist, because the voices of heavyweights such as Angela Merkel and Mario Draghi are no longer Audible, Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron are listened to without interest.

In this context, he believed that “the main problem of Europe, suffering from the crisis, remains the distrust of the population in the leaders of the European Union.”
