This episode explores Spain’s €5 billion emergency package designed to cushion the impact of rising energy prices. We break down key measures, including VAT cuts on fuel and electricity, a cap on domestic gas prices, and targeted support for vulnerable sectors like agriculture and fishing. We also discuss how Spain’s strong renewable energy base has helped reduce dependence on volatile external markets, and why energy sovereignty is seen as the long-term solution to prevent future price shocks.
