leak of a Polish oil pipeline, heckled British Prime Minister and salary cut for Belgian ministers

The leak on a worried oil pipeline in Poland. Enormous quantities are escaping from it, while it connects Russia to Germany. The leak was discovered in a cornfield. It remains to be seen whether it is an accident or sabotage.
In Britain, Prime Minister Liz Truss is heckled in Parliament. Although she assured that she would not cut public spending, she suffered the wrath of the opposition. Its budget, announced three weeks ago, caused the pound to fall and investors to flee. “Does she believe that we can never forgive the Conservative Party if she continues to defend this kamikaze budget?“, questioned Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition.

The Belgian ministers are involved. While they earn around 250,000 euros gross per year, they will leave 20,000 in support of those most affected by inflation. No question, however, to touch the indexation of wages to inflation. A symbolic gesture, which should encourage more solidarity.
