"The pro-Europeans want to facilitate the closure of the last remaining coal mines in Europe by means of short-term State aid. Given that Germany and Romania generate more than 40% of their electricity from coal combustion, this means that more than 100 000 people will be sacrificed on the altar of ultraliberalism on the pretext of fair competition and ‘green’ political correctness, which would have us generate electricity by wind power. In their quest for ‘renewable’ energies, these countries will no doubt have to replace coal by buying nuclear-generated electricity from their neighbours.
As a former miner myself, it makes me rather emotional to think back to all the French and European coal mines that have been closed, causing great suffering and leaving entire regions to go to ruin – regions which have thus become economic and social wastelands and have often not recovered. Therefore, I can unfortunately only conclude that, in this area as in so many others, the Europe of Brussels has not sought to protect our industries and hence our jobs, preferring instead to waste huge amounts of money on globalist projects that bear no relation to the problems of our fellow citizens."@en1
