Energy prices in Europe are 100% higher than they were before.

Omissions

• The claim does not specify which energy source or baseline period is being referenced. While natural gas prices were approximately double their early 2021 levels by 2025, electricity prices rose only about 30% over the same period according to Eurostat data cited by Euronews. The Euronews source was published after the session date (February 26, 2026 vs. April 29, 2026 session), though the data it reports (H1 2025) was from before the session date.
• The speaker attributes the price increase to EU policy ('Through your actions'), which is a matter of political interpretation rather than verifiable fact.
