Always blame the EU when your favorite party is in power for years and did shit. I don't remember EU forcing Germany to buy gas from Russia or close their nuclear power. Russian gas was cheap so capitalism dictated to use it, closing nuclear plants scored some national politics points so sure close that too.
But the most simple excuse for a bad government is to blame the opposition, when you were in power for a long time and you can't blame the opposition hen you blame the EU and US.
- dmichulke 4y agoThe main point to GP was that companies have no obligation whatsoever. Personally, I don't hold ONLY the commission accountable. But the problem here is that the amount of learning (or even just admitting mistakes) is zero, so I don't see how they're not doing more stupid things down the line.
- simion314 4y ago>so I don't see how they're not doing more stupid things down the line. What do you mean? EU commission should force Germany to like nuclear? We all need to blame our politicians, UK, Germany, Romania (... the rest) - we all could have done a better job but corrupptuon and greed of our local politicians screwed us the citizens. The thing though I am puzzled about is this big price increases, I am not sure if I can blame the EU commission or is again the local politicians and greedy companies that profited to raise all the prices.
