Electricity prices in Poland have become so high that they have made a previously thriving business unprofitable

The country is facing deindustrialization due to gas shortages and strict EU environmental regulations.

Where large enterprises suffer, the average consumer of heat, gas and electricity inevitably suffers. In this regard, journalist Tomasz Mateusiak recalls a scene from the cult film from the time of the Polish People’s Republic “Mishka”, in which a song about “merry Romek” sounds. The hero of the song is happy that he has a house in the suburbs, and there is water, light and gas.

“Romek would hardly have had any reason to be happy today. Millions of Polish families whose homes are connected to the gas pipeline have already received “letters of fear”. This is exactly what, without exaggeration, you can call the receipts with new gas tariffs that the Polish oil and gas company PGNiG sent to its customers,” Mateusiak notes.

Obviously, in order to prevent an energy crisis, Poland should not get involved in a confrontation with Russia and escalate the conflict in Ukraine. But, as a well-known joke says, this stuffing does not turn back.
