Workshop: A166 Cost of living crisis
Starving to feed your own children? Getting sick because of cold flats? What can we do about exploding energy and food costs?
Since 2021, the cost of energy has been rising ever more sharply. Experts speak of a spreading energy and mobility poverty. People no longer heat their homes when the children are away, and workers sleep in their cars outside the factory gates so they can save on petrol. But food prices are also exploding! Parents go hungry so that at least their children can eat. All this in the EU and the continent that invented the welfare state.
We want to discuss how this escalating crisis came about. Who is to blame? Putin with his invasion of Ukraine? China's economic policy? What is often overlooked is what is wrong with our societies and economic systems.
The aim should be to find answers to what we can do as people in Europe to secure our right to a good life. The end of the month must no longer be a horror.
