Sarah Wagenknecht, representative of the Left faction in the Bundestag, commented on calls to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream-2 pipeline because of the Navalny case.
According to “Economy Today” with reference to Die Welt, Wagenknecht believes that in this case similar criteria should apply to other delivery partners. Otherwise, such behavior of Berlin will be considered hypocritical.
Former member of the Bundestag noted that Saudi Arabia supplies oil to Berlin. At the same time, Riyadh has been brutally repressing those who disagree with the country’s authorities. As for the USA, Wagenknecht reminded about thousands of civilians who were killed by American drones.
“It is also no more disgusting than drone destruction of innocent civilians, as the United States has done in more than a thousand cases that supply us with its shale gas”, – Die Welt quoted her as saying.
