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”
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.
Other countries like that and Europe deals with are: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and of course, China.
The digital dependence on the US is much like the energy dependence on Russia.
Europe is ditching Russian energy. They may ditch US tech.
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.

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.

Says it decrease 25%, but it’s 25% from that almost 200% in 2023.
And now "La Sinrazón"🤦
You do know Marhuenda was the press chief of Rajoy, don’t you?
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.
