Germany: “Northern Flow-2” remained only opponent

“Green” remained the only party in Germany, which opposes the construction of the Russian gas pipeline “Northern Stream-2”. But if she does not manage to take control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the long-term struggle for the gas pipeline seems to be won by Russia, follows from the article by the German newspaper Die Welt.

Spores around the start of operation of the “Northern Flow-2” became one of the key points of formation of the ruling coalition in Germany. For the “green” projects opposing the project, there remained the only chance to prevent the gas pipeline – get senior posts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But to realize your plan from the party and her leader Annala Berbok is unlikely to succeed. Possible coalition partners – Social Democrats and the Free Democratic Party (SVDP) are in no hurry to support them in this matter. According to the author of the article, the Social Democratic Party of Germany “is traditionally associated with major energy companies”, and part of the ruling circles of CVDP and is completely friendly to Russia.

On October 25, the German Ambassador in Russia in Russia Andreas von Gair declared the technical readiness of the gas pipeline. Next, “Northern Plow-2” needs to be certified.
