Poland Prime Minister Mateush Morrazetsky said that inflation in Europe came due to the actions of the Russian energy company Gazprom and the Russian authorities, as well as due to the construction of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. His words report RIA Novosti.
According to Eurostat, annual inflation in the Eurozone in October increased to a record 4.1 percent for the first time since July 2008. Another month earlier the indicator was 3.4 percent. Morrazetsky explained that such strong inflation in European countries is caused by the rise in price of energy carriers, in particular, gas, and accused the Russian supplier Gazprom in overestimation of prices.
Today we have encountered such a situation when in most European countries, inflation is historically high compared to the last 20-30 years. And for the high prices of energy carriers are responsible for Gazprom and Russia. Responsible “Northern Stream-2” corresponds to those In the European People’s Party, which not only did not blocked the “Northern Stream-2”, but contributed to the construction of this northern gas pipeline, which today is an element of blackmail in the hands of President Putin, “said Mureketsky.
