Diesel prices stand at more than EUR 2 per litre amid the energy crisis.

Omissions

• The claim refers to an EU-wide weighted average; diesel prices are not above EUR 2 per litre in every member state. In Spain, the speaker's country, the price was EUR 1.889 per litre on 19 October 2026.
• The figures come from the European Commission Weekly Oil Bulletin as reported by secondary sources; the official bulletin page itself did not display the exact EUR 2.139 figure in the search results.
• Diesel prices had recently reached a record high, so citing the current peak week may be selective, although it is the relevant price at the time of the speech.
• The existence of an 'energy crisis' in October 2026 is not independently verified by the sources found.
