European Commission pushing ahead with measures to tackle energy crisis

The European Commission is pushing ahead with emergency measures to tackle the energy crisis. Its president, Ursula von der Leyen, has called for cuts to electricity use. She has suggested a plan to raise more than US$140 billion from windfall taxes on energy firms to cushion consumers from soaring power bills. Delivering a State of the Union address at the European Parliament, Ms von der Leyen outlined a proposal to tackle high prices as the bloc grapples with an energy crisis fuelled by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This Ursula lady is a great example of why government shouldn't ever be in charge of providing basic necessities to citizens. Total incompetence.

Ursula, congratulations on your well-being, but you mistook the vibrator for the microphone:
1. "Refugees found refuge" ... in Poland - 6 million refugees for whom the EU did not find a broken cent. Everything on the shoulders of Poland, which you do not want to provide any material help. You are counting on the Polish government to collapse under the pressure of economic violence ...
2. "In class, Ukrainian children made new friends" ... yes, 500, 000 Ukrainian children in Polish schools and kindergartens. No EU help! Let the Poles work it out.
3. "Our streets are filled with Ukrainian flags" it is true, you are strong in your declarations. Nothing else. Poles will remember what you think solidarity is. Teutonic solidarity.
You were in Poland and you made a solemn declaration that the funds from RRF would be unblocked. You do not harm our government, but the image of the EU among Poles.
4. "From then on, the Europeans showed the courage to do what had to be done." No comment ...

Ursula, you have done yourself well, but you haven't noticed that it's just in your head. Reality will soon verify your bliss. Winter is coming, I hope it will be harsh.
Your knowledge of the world and climate change is at the level of Greta Thunberg. There was no need to skip school ...

She should stop doodling and instead come up with something workable and sensible. That is, if she any grey material and the sense to do so.
