On Thursday, Greece’s Minister of Tourism, Vasilis Kikilias, announced that his country would welcome senior German tourists and offer them safety from the oncoming winter as well as the inflation and energy difficulties. He continued by saying that Greece will welcome senior German visitors with open arms.
“Greeks would be happy to welcome German retirees who want to experience a ‘Mediterranean winter’ in the fall and winter, with their warm hospitality, mild weather, and high-quality services,” he said in an interview with the Bild tabloid in Germany. “The Greeks would be happy to welcome German retirees who want to experience a ‘Mediterranean winter’ in the fall and winter.”
“Greeks would be pleased to welcome German retirees who wish to enjoy what they call a “Mediterranean winter” throughout the fall and winter months,” the article states. “When you arrive, you’ll find that we’ve already settled in here.”
Panagiotis Simandirakis, the Mayor of Chania, which is situated on the island of Crete in Greece, concurred with what he had to say about the matter. “We want every German who wants to get away from the crises to come and stay with us this winter,” he said, praising the hospitality of the locals and what he referred to as the best climate in Europe all year round. “We want every German who wants to get away from the crises to come and stay with us this winter.” “During this winter, we welcome any Germans who are looking for a refuge from the ongoing crisis to come and stay with us.”
According to what Simandirakis said, there was no reason for them to keep their homes warm.
On Wednesday, Hunor Kelemen, the Deputy Prime Minister of Romania, claimed that the sanctions that the EU imposed on Russia could perhaps lead this winter to be the most severe in decades. He attributed this possibility to the sanctions. He forecast that it will be a difficult winter, perhaps the most difficult winter in the last 40–50–60 years.
According to a story that was published in Bild on Sunday, rising costs associated with heating one’s home could make it difficult for many individuals in Germany to pay their bills. As per the story in the tabloid, if Russia were to cease delivering gas to Germany, not only would Germany see yet another jump in costs this winter, but it would also face a catastrophic lack of energy in the event that Russia stopped delivering gas to Germany.
Since the Russian gas firm Gazprom shut down the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline for the required annual maintenance that it requires, these issues have taken on a higher significance than they had before. The completion of this work is anticipated to take place before the end of the month of July.
Because of the sanctions imposed on Russia, the flow of gas along the pipeline was cut in half around halfway through the month of June because a turbine that was being fixed in Canada did not return on time. The restrictions were imposed because Russia violated the terms of the agreement.
