In his opinion, the country's goal is a complete rejection of Russian gas.
“Germany will not come close to fulfilling it if one pipeline is closed, but at the same time we will ask for more fuel to be delivered through another pipeline.
If the rejection of Nord Stream 2 had accelerated the complete cessation of imports of Russian raw materials!
But this is not so,” he wrote in an article for Der Spiegel.
The observer expressed confidence that the launch of the second channel would lead to a reduction in social pressure among German citizens, and would also eliminate the dependence of the German energy sector on one pipeline.
Earlier, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that in Germany a growing number of companies have reduced production or closed due to increased gas prices.
According to Compact, residents of Germany may face financial difficulties due to rising gas prices.
