Greek Citizens Concerned About High Energy Prices, Blame EU Policies

Greek citizens living on the island of Crete are concerned over high energy prices while also blaming the European Union for mismanaging its energy policy, leading, in their opinion, to the current situation, according to the people surveyed by Sputnik.

Since 2021, energy prices in EU countries have been surging as part of a global trend. After the beginning of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in February 2022 and the adoption of several packages of sanctions against Moscow by the EU, energy prices have accelerated their growth, placing energy security high on both the global and national agendas, and pushing many European governments to resort to various contingency measures.
