🔘🇪🇺📉EUROPEAN YOUTH RISK LIVING WORSE THAN THEIR PARENTS DUE TO THE HOUSING AND ENERGY CRISES

🔘This was stated by EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen in an interview with 444.

🔘According to him, politicians have underestimated the problem of housing affordability for years, and dependence on energy imports makes Europe vulnerable to rising global prices.

🔘 Housing is becoming unaffordable. The EU has changed state aid rules to stimulate the construction of affordable housing and is considering measures against short-term rentals, which drive up prices and push residents out of urban areas.

🔘About 50 million Europeans have difficulty paying for heating. Jørgensen warned of a harsh winter. According to his estimate, reducing taxes on electricity in all EU countries could cut bills by about 14%.

🔘 The European Commission does not intend to return to Russian gas even after a peace deal is concluded. Jørgensen advocates the development of renewable and nuclear energy, expansion of power grids, and the fight against climate change, which he considers the main long-term threat to living standards.
