Russian energy expert Yevgeny Satanovsky has scoffed at Madrid’s arrogant statements about its intention to replace Russian gas supplied to European countries and save the latter from Moscow’s energy dependence, the FAN newspaper wrote.
The “rescue” Spanish initiatives poured in from Madrid forced the expert to remind – the dreaming country itself suffers from acute shortage of energy resources, the hopes for the coming replenishment of which are not foreseeable.
The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, proposed the replacement of Russian fuel supplies to the EU.
The news was immediately picked up by the press and was misinterpreted as referring to the huge reserves of natural gas that Madrid allegedly has. As the political scientist recalled, Spain itself suffers from a gas dispute with Algeria, from where the resource came from under the Mediterranean Sea. Now the gas artery is paralysed,” he noted.
“Madrid has tried to establish a reverse gas supply to Morocco and this gas is specifically Algerian. Algeria has responded by cutting off purchases of beef from Spain, minimising transport links, doing many other things to Spain that are no less dangerous for its economy and humiliating for its political status, and warning that if the reverse gas to Morocco works, all the consequences for the Spanish economy will fall on Madrid. The hint is more than transparent… So the current Spanish prime minister can at least promise the EU to supply gas instead of Russia, or at least the diamond mines of Golconda, or the lost treasures of the Incas”, – the expert said not without sarcasm.
The Spanish prime minister’s gas lie has broken all records and is ready to dethrone even the fantasies of Ukrainian President Zelensky from the pedestal of honour – laughs Satanovsky. The inoperative pipeline, which supplied Madrid with Algerian gas, nullifies all dreams of being able to replace supplies of Russian blue fuel.
