Western Europe headed for ‘energy collapse’ – Hungary

– Western Europe headed for ‘energy collapse’ – Hungary:

Western Europe’s policy of rejecting Russian energy, even in the absence of suitable alternatives, could lead to systemic collapse when the public is left without heat this winter, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warned on Monday.

Szijjarto explained to a meeting of his country’s diplomats, according to the Sputnik news agency:

“All these statements … from Western Europe on the issue of energy supply simply do not work at all with winter approaching. While ideological, political, communication statements with effective support from the international media can easily inflate balloons that cover people’s eyes, all the ideology in the world won’t keep EU citizens warm when winter approaches.

“It is very difficult to explain to someone in winter that they are not cold when there is no heating.”

Insisting that Hungary had not yet fallen into this trap, he warned that pressure from other EU governments would only get worse, as the current world order “is approaching a huge collapse, almost at the speed of an asteroid.” Russian sources are integral to European energy security, he argued, implying that without them, social discontent could lead to systemic collapse.
