Arrimadas sees the Government "like a headless chicken" with energy: It is not prepared for this crisis

MADRID, 30 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, considers that the Government is going "like a headless chicken" in energy matters and that "it is not prepared" to face the crisis that Europe is going through in this area as a result of the war in Ukraine.

"It does not have an energy policy. While all of Europe is committed to nuclear as a transition energy, here we are making the most anti-nuclear discourse in the world but we buy more gas from Russia than we bought before," he emphasizes, in an interview with Europa Press.

For Arrimadas, the fact that Spain is "probably the only country that now depends more on gas from Russia than it did a year ago" is a consequence of its "bad policies" and "diplomatic conflicts" that have "decreased the supply of gas "by Algeria.

He has also charged against the Executive for "despising" the "nuclear" instead of considering them as a "transition option" until "we are totally self-sufficient in green energy."

"We generate diplomatic problems that affect the purchase of gas, we buy more Russian gas at a time when all of Europe is seeing how it stops depending on Russian gas, it is that they are not prepared to face a crisis like this," he laments. the leader of the orange party.

"This government is not prepared for the circumstances they are seeing, it is acting through measures that fit in a banner and a tweet and not taking seriously an issue that will affect future generations," he warns.

In this context, it makes a new appeal to the Government to stop "diplomatically screwing up with Algeria" and not to renounce the so-called "green taxonomy" and to use European resources for "the modernization of nuclear power plants that already exist" to "extend its useful life".
