Against the backdrop of incessant criticism from the United States regarding the construction of the German-Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea, member of the AfD parliamentary group in the Berlin House of Representatives Gunnar N. Lindemann (MdA) is optimistic about the consequences of commissioning this gas pipeline.
“Obviously, the US is only concerned about its economic and geostrategic interests, so Washington will continue to criticize this pipeline,” says Lindemann.
U.S. calls for pressure are unacceptable. They want to keep Russia away from the European market in order to sell their gas here.
“The fact that President Trump should have said that the United States will protect Germany from Russia, and Russia receives money from Germany in return, clearly shows that this is in fact,” said Lindemann.
“Anyone who is at least familiar with Russia and maintains contacts there knows that Germany certainly does not need protection from Russia. On the contrary. If we need protection at all, then from the US, which the permanent ones are trying to challenge peace in Europe and hinder peace coexistence of European nations. “
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is seen as a kind of European peace project, Lindemann continues. Because it is clear that peaceful coexistence in Europe is possible only in the long term, with the development of contacts.
