Marco Setaccioli criticized Marco Travaglio for claiming that resuming purchases of Russian gas would be more advantageous for Europe than for Moscow. According to Setaccioli, sales data contradicted this thesis: since the beginning of the war, European consumption of Russian gas would have fallen from 150 billion cubic meters per year in 2021 to 18 in 2025. Of the 132 billion lost, he wrote, China would only have bought 28 more; moreover, Xi would not have wanted to build the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline. Setaccioli added that Gazprom had laid off hundreds of people and recorded losses for the first time in many years. On the topic of prices, Setaccioli stated that, before Donald Trump's move related to Iran, gas cost 32 euros per MWh, despite Russian supplies being at a minimum. He compared that price to the peak of 180 euros per MWh reached in December 2021, before the start of the war in Ukraine, when the pipelines were still intact and Russian supplies continued. According to Setaccioli, Moscow had reduced reserves and supplies to raise cash ahead of the invasion and to pressure Europe, dissuading it from supporting Kyiv. He attributed European diversification to the choice of not following the positions of Travaglio and Alessandro Di Battista, who, he wrote, had sought to stop the TAP, the pipeline that brings gas from Azerbaijan, evoking environmental damage that Puglia, according to him, was still awaiting. Finally, Setaccioli reported that the day before, the parliamentary group of the vannacciani had presented a resolution to resume purchases of Russian gas. He speculated that the proposal had come following new indications from Moscow. #gasrusso #Gazprom #energia (translated)
