Average EU diesel prices reached a record €2.24 a litre as Spain’s Congress voted on two government-backed housing decrees, with support from Sánchez’s coalition in doubt. The programme covered fuel costs, tenant protections and security concerns involving Ukraine and Romania. It didn’t report on migration or border policy.
Record fuel costs
Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen warned that price volatility was here to stay. In an exclusive interview with Euronews, he urged European governments to use existing flexibility to ease fuel costs for millions of Europeans.
The programme reported the record average diesel price alongside Trump’s pressure on EU countries to release millions of barrels from emergency oil stocks. It didn’t say whether any government had agreed to release oil or explain what such a decision might mean for prices.
Osama Rizvi, Global Market & Product Strategist at Primary Vision, analysed the latest energy price increase. The programme’s account included no direct quotation from Rizvi and offered no further detail about his analysis.
Spain’s housing vote
Spain’s Congress was voting on two decrees backed by the government. The measures aimed to tackle soaring rents and protect tenants, but support from Sánchez’s coalition was in doubt.
Javier Iñiguez reported from Madrid after days of street protests. The account didn’t say how many people took part, name the protest organisers or detail their demands beyond the housing measures under consideration.
The programme’s summary said rejecting the decrees could trigger unpredictable political consequences. It didn’t report the vote’s outcome or provide a breakdown of how members of Congress voted.
Security concerns in Romania
The programme also spoke with Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu. Russian drone attacks on Ukraine were spilling into Romanian airspace and along the Black Sea, the report said.
Bucharest warned of a broader campaign involving cyberattacks, sabotage and other forms of hybrid warfare. The account gave no further details about the warning, named no particular attacks and reported no assessment from another government or organisation.
The programme reported on energy prices, Spain’s housing vote and security concerns linked to the war in Ukraine. It provided no information about asylum, migrant workers, border controls, Frontex, detention or deportations, so those issues can’t be assessed from the report.
Euronews anchors Méabh Mc Mahon and Stefan Grobe presented the programme live on television, the Euronews website and digital platforms including YouTube, Facebook, X and Instagram. It ran every weekday at 8 am Brussels time, and Euronews also offered it as a newsletter and podcast.
