Entrepreneurs heartbroken by Prime Minister's announcements
11:45
The government is leaving us out in the cold, entrepreneurs said, who are expected to pay up to a dozen times higher energy bills starting next year. That's because the prime minister has announced a price freeze, but for individual consumers. For companies – yes – there is also to help. However, on a small scale. And only for those selected. What's worse, it's not clear how selected. Entrepreneurs can't understand why the government doesn't want to help them with energy prices.
"We will save households from bankruptcies. But what will people eat if we go bankrupt? Where will they work?" they asked.
Government support is to cover only energy-intensive companies. And it will amount to barely 11 percent of what the shields amounted to in the early days of the pandemic. Meanwhile, a game is now being played over who will matter in European business in a few years.
