Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Western Europe is facing an economic crisis, a possible war conflict beyond Ukraine and a powerful energy issue with all the foreseen consequences. Whose is to be blamed? Sanctions to Russia are necessary as a tool to control a bad neighbour but, are they more damaging to Western Europe than to the intended sanctioned country? Or we have to wait for the sanctions to really hurt Russian economy? The cyberspace is full of confronted opines about this. And probably sanctions are just compounding on other fundamental economic and financial problems which have been boiling since 2008 crisis and now slowly exploding? And what to do indifferent sceneries are our European politicians really understanding what kind of decision have to be taken to resist the storm and then to come out from it after a good fight? EU is, at the end of the day, many countries with different points of view which need time and lots of talk before deciding something in common. Let's be realistic and prepare for anything. But enjoy this Summer as much as you can (like our close grandparents and their parents remembered the summer of 1914 and 1939 as the last good one).
