PAN: “Portugal is the 5th EU country with the least conditions to keep houses warm or cool them down”
“Portugal is the fifth country in the European Union where people have less economic conditions to keep houses warm at the peak of the cold or cool them at the height of summer. This means that there are two million people who are currently in poverty”, reads the publish May 15 on the official page of PAN (People-Animals-Nature) on Facebook.
“Almost at the end of the State Budget for 2022, we still don’t see reflected proposed offers that solve the problem of the people who suffer, every day, with this hard reality. Needs electricity support from vulnerable families, it is added in the same text.
“A house with good thermal insulation allows: either an estimated or temperature winter; the reduction in the use of heating is conditioned to the need, consequently, the electricity bill. The PAN will not give up on this issue, where there is still so much way to go”, it concludes.
According to the most recent Eurostat dataUnion statistical service, European from a survey, about a survey 8% of the population of the 27 Member States of the European Union that did not have the capacity to keep their adequate housing warm in the year 2020.
In the specific case of Portugal, this percentage was 17.5% of the populationwhat corresponds (from roughly speaking) a fence of “two million people that are currently in energy poverty“, one of the allegations made in the publish concerned with the NAP. Or more exactly, about 1.8 million people.
Import take into account as resources variations between different European Union countries in this indicator. While countries like Austria and Finland percentages less than 2%topless classification stand out to Bulgaria with 27.5%Lithuania with 23.1%, Cyprus with 20.9% and Portugal with 17.5%.
I.e, Portugal is the fourth country (and not the fifth, as if markedly wrong in the publish of the PAN) of the European Union where people have the economic conditions to keep their homes warm, based on Eurostat data for 2020.
In 2019, the same presented at the top of the table: Bulgaria, Lithuania, Cyprus and Portugal. Then in 2018 is that Portugal was, in fact, in the fifth position, surpassed then by Bulgaria, Lithuania, Greece and Cyprus.
We thus come to the conclusion that the PAN is based on statistical data that are already out of date. Moreover, they cover only the recognition of the houses, not the cooling. Hence the unavoidable stamp of “False“.
