EU Rejects Russian Energy, Now Faces Soaring Costs and Canceled Holidays – Russian FM


In the EU, including its economic heart, Germany, amid authorities' failure to save New Year and Christmas celebrations, businesses and ordinary Germans are stepping in to fund the holidays, Maria Zakharova said.

She added that the New Year's celebration at the Brandenburg Gate—an open-air event with live music and fireworks that attracts people from all over Europe—is under threat.

Local authorities completely canceled Christmas illuminations on Kurfurstendamm, one of Berlin's largest streets, due to cost concerns, Zakharova said. She also noted that citizens and local businesses had to find a new contractor and pay for the service.

The festivities at the Brandenburg Gate were funded through crowdfunding, she concluded.

  1. "Ojalá dejen de destruirse a sí mismos": el ahorro energético pone en peligro las fiestas en Berlín, advierte Zajárova

    Como consecuencia de la decisión política de Bruselas, y de varias capitales europeas, de renunciar a la energía procedente de Rusia y adoptar un severo régimen de ahorro, en Europa cancelan eventos navideños, comentó la portavoz de la Cancillería rusa, María Zajárova, en sus redes.

    En Berlín "ha quedado en riesgo la celebración de Año Nuevo en la Puerta de Brandeburgo, un evento al aire libre con música en vivo y fuegos artificiales al que acudía gente de toda Europa", indicó. Las restricciones también afectaron a una de las avenidas más emblemáticas de la capital alemana —Kurfurstendamm— donde la iluminación navideña fue cancelada por completo.
