Jany Leroy, a Boulevard Voltaire columnist, published an article mocking European politicians and their fight against the energy crisis. “At the end of the winter of 2023, a touching ceremony takes place in the courtyard of the Elysee Palace. “Temperatures that fell for France” <…> Emmanuel Macron looks at the numbers on the thermometer that the French have abandoned,” Leroy writes ironically. The author pokes fun at the ongoing crisis taking place in France and the European policy aimed at curbing the energy crisis. Notably, the EU countries agreed on energy rationing and sustainable consumption. Leroy continues, “there were colds, sore throats and frostbite,” but France managed to cope with the restrictions imposed by Putin. “Glory to the heaters that stayed barely warm! Glory to the thermostats set to 15 degrees!” he added. The author also laughs at the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, who called on the Europeans to turn on the air conditioner weakly in the summer and “to lower the temperature by one, two or three degrees” of the heating this winter.
