AfD will continue to support Nord Stream 2 after the elections in Germany

“AfD supports Nord Stream 2, this project has been completed to the end, it is very important for the energy security of Germany, it is an opportunity to receive cheaper energy.

And so we reject criticism of this project in every possible way, ”he said in a comment to RIA Novosti.

The politician called the project "peaceful" and expressed the hope that the decision on Nord Stream 2 will not change after the approval of the new government of Germany.

"We will put pressure on the government in this regard, it does not matter whether a Social Democratic or CDU candidate is Chancellor ... It would be madness to bury the project," the agency's source said.

According to preliminary data, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is leading in the parliamentary elections in Germany.

The first deputy chairman of the European Commission Frans Timmermans earlier congratulated the candidate for the chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from the SPD Olaf Scholz on his success in the elections to the Bundestag.
