Cold weather in Europe

Between the polar wave all over Europe and the cold fronts elsewhere, the climate hasn't been so neat over the past few weeks and even though we try to make it through the day or we complain because the cold is perhaps a little bit too much to bare, I have no saying in this since people in Europe are dying over this, and maybe it is time to sit down and think a little bit about what could the government over there do.

Don't get me wrong I'm just a Mexican girl with an opinion, and yes this Mexican girl is a fan of football, and the Euro 2012 is coming and everybody is so excited about this event, specially since its an even taking place at Poland and Ukraine, which I think is a huge plus it will increase the tourism on those countries and people will become interested in both cultures not just the football event per say.

You'll probably ask yourselves wasn't she going to talk about the cold weather? And my answer to you it's yes, so just keep on reading. Both governments have made all the arrangements in order to have a great event, but have they notice the numbers of the people dying in both Ukraine and Poland due to extreme weather, and of course the ones suffering are homeless people and elderly mostly, elderly probably there isn't much to do about them but homeless people are loosing their feet due to cold weather, and what will they do if they are already homeless and now without a foot too?

The main reason of all the homeless people dying is because in Ukraine they don't have shelters for those who don't have a house to live in, isn't that ridiculous? If you are in a country were it snows and it's not just cold as in Mexico let's say, shouldn't there be shelters for the people to seek refuge at night??

It is amazing how we are willing to spend money in things that may be not as important as someone else's life...
