To refuse to launch Nord Stream 2: Rahr appreciated the new statement of the Greens
The leader of the German Greens, Annalena Berbock, whose party took third place in the elections to the Bundestag and was number two in the coalition with the SPD and the FDP, advocated the refusal to commission the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The politician believes that this issue should be discussed not within the framework of bilateral relations with Moscow, but in consensus with the European Union.
According to European energy law, the pipeline operator must be different from the one supplying the gas. As long as it is one and the same company, therefore, a permit to carry out activities cannot be issued
- said Berbock.
Note that during the formation of a new government in Germany, the leader of the German "Greens" should receive the post of foreign minister, and her opinion will undoubtedly influence the adoption of foreign policy decisions in Berlin.
In his telegram channel, the famous German political scientist Alexander Rahr called Berbork's words "shocking." The expert believes that the government, which will include the Greens, will take a course towards worsening relations with the Russian Federation.
Shocking statement by Annalena Berbock, leader of the Green Party and possibly the future head of the German Foreign Ministry. Future Chancellor Scholz is still silent, but he is unlikely to dance to the tune of the Greens. While he won't be able to ignore them either, the Greens have become an important factor in German power. Merkel fought like a lioness for Nord Stream 2. She even now banged her fist on the table and put Ms. Berbock in her place, saying that Russia was not to blame for the current shortage of gas in Europe. Berbock, on the other hand, blames Russia for this.
- says Rahr.
