Cristina Tomàs White and Cillian Shields join Lorcan Doherty to discuss the economic effects in Catalonia of the war in Ukraine. Cristina Serradell, director of international trade at Catalonia Trade & Investment, explains how Catalan businesses and global supply chains are adjusting. We hear from truckers and taxi drivers protesting against rising fuel costs, find out how soaring energy prices are hurting manufacturers and ask what actions authorities are taking to address the crisis. This week's Catalan phrase is 'has begut oli', literally 'you have drunk oil', it means you have made a big mistake.
