France called the EU's refusal of Russian gas economic suicide

PARIS, October 10 - RIA Novosti. The refusal of the European authorities from Russian gas against the backdrop of rapidly rising fuel prices is comparable to economic and social suicide, said the leader of the Get Up, France party, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who is running for president of the country.

“Gas prices continue to rise rapidly... This is a very specific result of the refusal of European leaders to establish peace in Ukraine and lift sanctions against Russia... This is economic and social suicide,” he wrote on the social network X.

As the politician noted, the price increase since the beginning of 2026 has amounted to 42.4% and has not stopped to this day.

“Meanwhile, the economies of the United States and China are operating at full capacity, and their gas is four times cheaper,” he added.
