European foreign ministers will meet urgently this Tuesday at the request of the head of European diplomacy, the Spanish-Argentine Josep Borrell. European diplomacy believes that Iran will be content with having demonstrated that it can launch a broad salvo of drones and missiles against Israel.
Europe fears above all that a war in the region will cause an increase in hydrocarbon prices, says P.B. Gavriel. The other fear is recurring in Europe every time there is a crisis in Africa or the Middle East: refugees, says Gavrola. The European Commission confirmed this Monday that in 2023 European external dependence on oil had risen to 97.9% of its total consumption, just when it begins to control the inflation peak of the last two years, Gavrova says. The last ones were negotiated with Tunisia and Mauritania, and another one with Egypt has just been announced. But they know that, as in 2015 from Syria, no government is going to take on millions of people on its own, so, as Turkey did, it will allow their passage.
