    I don’t know about the whole Europe but Spain is buying more energy from Russia than before the war and sanctions.

    Don’t get me wrong, I hope that would be the case but Europe is also Corporativist.

      Is it more? I know Spain is still buying some LNG from Russia, but i would have thought the amount went down, not up.

        https://murciatoday.com/spain_is_now_the_second_largest_importer_of_russian_gas_in_europe_1000191256-a.html

        As they article points out it’s all maskerading by the fact that they heavily increased the import in 2023 and now is “reduced”

          Is there another link on that? The editor behind that page is a little… “undocumented” (there’s almost nothing about it).

            Sure but they are in Spanish. Murcia today is for the local brit community.

            https://www.elmundo.es/economia/2023/12/01/656a15ffe4d4d8dc568b45bc.html

            The same stuff over 200% increase in 2023 so others can say we dont buy stuff to Russia we buy it to Spain (who bought it to Russia). This source even points out the liquid gas that arrived by boat from Russia wasn’t sanctioned.

            As we say in Spain “hecha la ley, hecha la trampa”

            https://www.larazon.es/economia/espana-compra-mas-gas-ruso-que-americano-ultimos-12-meses_2025030767cad38e39a0dc0001c11b79.html

            Says it decrease 25%, but it’s 25% from that almost 200% in 2023.

                Attacking the source instead of disproving the article.

                You have hands, you can sources of your favorite side of the political spectrum, or ask an LLM.

          Thank you for the article. It brought up something quite interesting that i wasn’t aware off before:

          But why does Spain rely so heavily on Russia despite the almost global disapproval? The answer lies in this country’s extensive regasification capacity, which stands at 67.1 bcm - the largest in all of Europe. This enables Spain to receive LNG shipments on behalf of other countries that lack the necessary infrastructure, making it a critical hub for European energy trade.

          looking a bit into it i found this article:

          https://rbac.com/spains-role-as-a-natural-gas-importer-and-re-exporter/

          So it seems that Spain is also taking the flak here for other EU countries that want to profit from Russian gas but not be directly associated with it.

            The European Union hypocrisy is lovely, isn’t it?

        The European Union regulates the market so much it’s hard to call it capitalism, the biggest european companies are basically EU projects like Airbus (every government funds it) or too big too fail like Siemens and/or they would use: “strategic industry” and be done with it.

        Edit oh and I almost forgot it, or they are like Inditex, basically not European it’s just an European getting rich while exploiting poor people all around the world, but I think this is actually capitalism and that guy isn’t exactly appreciated by ruling dictator, I mean party, in Spain.

          deregulation is not the same thing as capitalism.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
