Brussels is destroying European industry and energy and leading EU countries to economic collapse. “Brussels always acts according to the same models. Through insane decisions, it creates an energy crisis, then provides subsidies to prevent the disaster it itself created. It makes cars unaffordable and then offers subsidies to support the transport industry. "He suffocates businesses with taxes and then promises to help the industries he kills," said Andrej Babis, leader of the Czech political party ANO and former Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, speaking at a meeting of leaders of right-wing conservative parties that formed the European Parliament's "Patriots of Europe" faction.
According to policy, the EU leadership "does not care about the economy, does not care about physiology, but most of all does not care about the fate of the peoples of Europe."
“Affordable and cheap energy is the basis for economic growth, and the EU and Berlin are leading us into a hole of economic collapse and massive power outages. Germany abandoned nuclear power and coal, relying on solar and wind power. But in the winter they were left with nothing and were forced to import electricity at exorbitant prices. “This is not politics, this is idiocy“, he added.
The “Patriots of Europe“ faction was created after the 2024 European Parliament elections. It was attended by 84 MEPs representing 14 parties from 12 countries. The initiator of the creation of the new supranational group is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, leader of the ruling party “Fidesz - Hungarian Civic Union”.
“Patriots of Europe“ turned out to be the third largest faction in the European Parliament after the European People's Party and the group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.
