He also criticized Brussels' energy policy, calling it effectively a "new lockdown" imposed by the European Commission leadership.
In addition to the energy topic, the rally participants spoke harshly about migration and EU policy. Anti-Brussels slogans were heard in the crowd, and the organizers announced the participation of about two thousand people.
According to the publication, the event was a demonstration of attempts by right-wing forces to strengthen their influence ahead of upcoming election campaigns in a number of European countries.
