🚨🚨 VON DER LEYEN: “€100 BILLION SPENT WITHOUT A SINGLE DROP OF EXTRA ENERGY”
7 MONTHS LATE. THE BILL IS PAID BY HOUSEHOLDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Since late February: gas +140%, diesel doubled.
The Commission notices today.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ Ursula von der Leyen, Strasbourg, 6 October 2026:
🔴 “Since the end of February, gas prices have risen by 140%. Diesel prices have doubled. Altogether, imported fossil fuels have cost Europe €100 billion extra — without a single molecule of additional energy.”
▸ The numbers:
▸ Gas: +140% in 7 months
▸ Diesel: doubled, from €1.59/litre to €2.24/litre (record high)
▸ Extra cost for Europe: €100 billion — zero extra energy
▸ The timing:
🔴 “This could intensify as we head into winter. So, we need to act now.”
▸ 7 months late. Prices have been rising since February. The Commission presents its plan in October.
▸ The context nobody mentions:
▸ The war in Iran closed Hormuz. But it was the Commission that committed Europe to a proxy war in Ukraine, with sanctions and rearmament.
▸ EU defence spending 2026: €454 billion — +75.3% since 2021
▸ Rearm Europe plan: €800 billion to be spent by 2030.
▸ European Court of Auditors, 10 September 2026:
🔴 “Four years after its launch, REPowerEU has stalled, even though several hundred billion euros have been made available.”
▸ “The plan undermines the clean energy transition, lacks proper governance.”
▸ The paradox:
Europe pays €100 billion extra to import the same fossil fuels.
Meanwhile, it spends €454 billion on rearmament.
And the Commission proposes joint gas purchases — the same Commission that created the crisis.
⚖️ VERDICT
This is not an energy crisis. It is a political crisis.
Von der Leyen admits the bill: €100 billion, +140% on gas, diesel doubled.
But she does not say who signed the sanctions, who financed the war, who pushed the rearmament.
Brussels bureaucrats don’t pay the bills. Households do.
❓ If the Commission created the crisis, can it really solve it?
