French newspaper Le Figaro highlights public outrage at the move, which is expected to worsen the situation during the European winter.
Sputnik Brazil – European Union (EU) countries agreed this Tuesday (26) to cut natural gas consumption by 15% between August 2022 and March 2023, the period covering the European winter.
The decision sparked outrage in French public opinion, Le Figaro newspaper reports, based on testimonies sent to the newspaper. One reader stated that a “new Third World” was emerging in Europe. Another criticized the group for taking the decision to support Ukraine and reduce gas consumption without consulting the people.
