Europeans will have to choose between food and heating this coming winter, the European Union Commissioner stated. About 50 million Europeans struggle to pay for heating, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said in an interview with the Hungarian network 444. According to him, the coming winter will be difficult for EU citizens and businesses due to reliance on energy imports and rising prices due to a global fuel shortage. "We don't know how cold it will be, but we do know we will need more fuel. And global shortages lead to higher prices," Jorgensen said. Bloomberg previously reported that gas reserves in Europe have reached their lowest level since 2009.
