European countries urge EU to act on soaring energy prices amidst war in the Persian Gulf. Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and Slovakia push for emergency powers, including easing state aid rules, coordinating demand cuts, and capping gas prices. The European Commission, led by Energy Chief Dan Jørgensen, has held back from using bloc-wide tools, focusing on long-term fixes like diversifying energy sources and cutting fossil fuel use. Tensions rise as elections loom and countries grapple with high energy bills and heavy reliance on imports. Talks intensify ahead of next Mondays energy ministers meeting and a leaders summit later this month.
