#Iran #IranWar #ReJoinEU #Europe From Brussels, new chapters of “the dinner of idiots” continue to be written. Once again, we witness the attempt to convince the citizens of the Union that 1+1=3. Now it turns out that reducing fuel taxes to mitigate the price surge is equivalent to “incentivizing its consumption,” which would tend to stimulate demand. Just like that, as if it were a luxury good. It turns out that energy is no longer a strategic resource on which Europe largely depends, and that its institutions have contributed to worsening this dependency in recent years with their absurd confrontation with Russia. It seems more like a whim granted to citizens and businesses. Not content with such a contradiction, they warn us that if these aids are not limited, we would face the risk of a fiscal deficit and stagflation. That is, precisely in an economic scenario where fiscal stimuli directed at households and SMEs are essential to avoid a deep recession spiral, once again fiscal austerity is erected as a remedy. Of course, the deficit accumulated over the years as a result of increased military spending and aid to Ukraine, that doesn’t count. It’s not just a new Nero residing in the White House; in Europe, we have a band of arsonists ready to burn everything around them.
