It is reported by RIA Novosti.
The agency recalls that the German government activated the second level of emergency in the gas sector, while at the end of March Haber claimed that Berlin was ready for “all scenarios”, including stopping gas supplies from Russia.
“Why did you yourself say six weeks ago that you were ready for anything that ... Russia could do, and now all of a sudden, in one weekend, new strategies, and then, in a day, this morning, a state of emergency?
Of course, we have questions about what happened between “we are ready for whatever Putin can do” and this sudden turn in the morning,” Spahn said.
According to him, if the situation is really so serious, then it is necessary to consider the resumption of the operation of the nuclear power plant, the extraction of gas in the North Sea or the use of biogas.
“The introduction of the third stage of the emergency would have painful consequences for the German economy, for citizens.
It would come as a shock.
But the shock could have been less if the plan that we have been demanding for weeks in the German Bundestag had been previously discussed and adopted.
Please prepare a transparent and consistent plan,” the MP said.
According to the Federal Network Agency of Germany, at the current level of gas pumping through the Nord Stream, filling German storage facilities up to 90% by December seems almost impossible without additional measures.
Economy Minister Habek noted that the political "winter" in Germany is already on the threshold, the country has begun an energy crisis.
