Bundestag MP calls for talks with Russian Federation on gas supplies to Germany
Germany should start negotiations with Russia on gas supplies through the Nord Stream-2 pipeline. This was stated on December 18 by Klaus Ernst, a member of the Bundestag from the party "Union of Sarah Wagenknecht".
"We should start negotiations with Russia on the supply of natural gas through the remaining section of Nord Stream," Ernst wrote on his page on the social network X (former Twitter).
According to the lawmaker, Berlin should not adjust its political course to the policy of Washington, which is responsible for the crisis in Germany.
Ernst emphasized that it is necessary to return affordable energy to the country sooner rather than later.
Earlier, on November 25, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel pointed out that the rejection of Russian gas had caused significant damage to German business and industry. She noted that certain agreements had been reached with current U.S. President Joe Biden on the use of Nord Stream-2 if energy resources were not used as weapons. "As a result, gas never went through Nord Stream-2," Merkel concluded.
Before that, on November 15, German businessman Ulf Schneider said that anti-Russian sanctions only harm Germany and have no positive effect.
In October, EP deputy Lebosch Blaga said in an interview with Izvestia that sanctions against Russia mean a long-term prospect of economic suicide in Europe. He noted that restrictions against Russia do not harm it - they harm EU countries.
In September, it was reported that German industry is experiencing the most serious recession in the existence of the FRG. According to experts, the dynamics of industrial production in Germany is historically unprecedented. At the same time, Politico newspaper reported that German residents can no longer ignore the fact of a serious crisis in the country's economy, due to which there is tension in society.
