The only person who seems to be able to afford the luxury is Chancellor Scholz, Ex-President of Russia Medvedev made a joke
According to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the chancellor appears to be the only person in Germany who can take a decent shower given current gas prices and energy-saving regulations.
What would the pricing look like at the end of the year? $3,000? $4,000? Any higher wagers, sir? On Monday, Medvedev sent a snarky message on social media.
A reference to Medvedev’s late-March assertion that EU leaders, particularly those in the German government, were hurting themselves with their anti-Russian actions was made in the remark. He claimed at the time that their activities were “the best method to leave Europe without gas.”
The German chancellor was asked last week by a school student how often he showered, to which he said “every day.” During the same meeting he said he considered himself a wealthy person, knowing how much ordinary Germans earned.
According to a survey conducted by Germany’s INSA research institution and released last week, Scholz’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest level since he into office in December. Only 25% of Germans are happy with his job as chancellor, and 62% of those surveyed were unsatisfied.
The Russian energy giant Gazprom said last Friday that the Nord Stream pipeline will be shut down for three days, which caused the price of natural gas in Europe to soar to almost $2,600 per thousand cubic meters.
Only 20% of the capacity of the line, which travels directly from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea, has been in use for weeks. The routine upkeep of the German-made machinery that pumps the gasoline has been interfered with, according to Gazprom, because of anti-Russian sanctions. Berlin stated that it did not accept the justification.
