Amid supermarket food rationing, a truck drivers’ strike over petrol prices and rising inflation in #Spain, the country’s economy minister tells FRANCE 24 that it’s “essential” for Madrid to be allowed to take measures to bring electricity prices down. “We’re working with the Commission to have an authorisation to decouple our energy market and thus stop this price increase […] It doesn’t make sense that Spanish and Portuguese citizens do not benefit from the fact that we have for instance at least 50 percent of our generation from renewables. This is very cheap and clean energy and our citizens should benefit from these low prices,” Nadia Calviño explains.

Greed has become a second pandemic. We need a vaccine for cash guzzling corporations, an inoculation against perpetual record profits.

Only need one Zelensky to make chaos europe, only clown can make funny all europe
Reminds me how they took away subsidies from Spanish solarfarmers to benefit gas lobbyists… Spain should have an optimal situation for both Solar and windpower with huge deserts and windy wastes, from previous woolindustry projects and cutting down all trees in past centuries..
Spain grows tomatoes and has a booming tourist trade and Russia has most of the resources of the world. Wish you luck with sanctions on Russia.
When protestors waive red flags it means they are with Russia and at odds with the ruling party.
She ( the minister) is squirming in her chair ! She can’t give an honest answer typical political responses! I live in western Canada… we have a drama teacher in power 😢
Lots of trouble coming for us all !
Cheers everyone!
Good luck housing the world's refugees. With war, climate change, and the collapse of globalisation there may be a few more knocking at the EU's doors in the next few years.
I don't want to believe Spanish citizens are believing this NONSENSE…
Rationing is currently going on…you would think it's Spanish citizens under sanctions…
And to think Spain actually has LNG regasification terminals…
You are so beautiful Catherine💕
Hold on, the Spanish minister started saying that the war in Ukraine doesn’t have an impact on Spain (very low impact) then when it comes to inflation she changes the argument back to energy prices…..which is rising-as a direct consequence of the war in Ukraine. She’s either too smart for me or she believes her own BS.
Not the prices are increasing!
The money as we know them are decreasing in value for US to get the value of dolar to get to its proper value after living on money printing for 80 years. Now the value of USD is less then 10 % of its real value
Many businesses are taking advantage of crisis to rip off the population,
That's why you get from sanctationing russia🤣🤣🤣
Spain‘s inflation is entirely and only the result of Spain‘s monetary policies, has nothing to do you energy prices (which the minister stated early on, Spain is not exposed to because of Russian invasion of Ukraine) or worker strikes.
US can export oil n gas and help Europe friends. Potato Biden is blocking US oil and gas exploration. Total joke
30k refugees from Ukraine… thank you Spain… such a big help :FFFFF
The sanctions are hitting hard on Eu Than russian itself
NICE
Finally a politician that clearly answers the questions asked 🙂
Hilarious if not so blatantly dishonest
Hermosa eleccion 2😍 LIKESEX.Uno de mejor siempre en mi corazónk mañas no se la.🌹🤩💜 Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
I heard something about solar panels, that should be subsidized by the spanish government. Work it out minister Nadia Cavilnõ.
How comes that Mr. Zelensky has 1.2 billion dollars on his accounts?!? Why no one talks about that???
Didn't an Orange man a few years ago tell Germany this would happen?
And they laughed at him
Russia does not seem to understand that when Europe and the US don't need gas and oil anymore, then they will be in big trouble.
This goverment of Spain is a chaos 😡
Other then Americans n Chinese no one is gaining in this war
