In pics | Protests across Europe over energy crisis

On Saturday, about 70,000 people gathered in Prague's famous Wenceslas Square to call for changes in a number of government policies. Because the coalition led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala's center-right administration neglected its own residents while disregarding war-torn Ukraine, protesters called for its resignation. The rising inflation, skyrocketing energy costs, the Covid-19 immunisation, and immigrants all drew blatant criticism. The "Czech Republic in the first place" protest's organisers ought to maintain military neutrality and secure direct deals with all gas suppliers, including Russia.

Left-wing and far-right organisations have declared intentions to start holding weekly protests in Europe's largest democracy. The administration revealed a $65 billion economic assistance package on Sunday, but it was uncertain whether unions would follow through on their threats to hold demonstrations.

Civil unrest has shaken Naples, and it may get worse as demonstrators set fire to their expensive energy bills in the streets. Following Russia's reduction in gas supply and Gazprom's Sunday decision to shut off the supply of natural gas to Europe indefinitely, Italy has been slammed with historically high energy costs.

The government said that it would provide approximately $23 billion in liquidity guarantees to assist energy businesses in making supply purchases through March. Without it, some electrical companies ran the risk of slipping into "technical insolvency," according to Finance Minister Mikael Damberg on Sunday.

Consumers are being urged to simply go on strike as worries over Britain's soaring energy prices grow every day. "Don't Pay" plans to amass a million supporters who will jointly stop making direct debit payments to their energy providers on October 1. Since the middle of June, it has gained more than 130,000 supporters.
