"It's unbearable that Russians go on holiday to Europe and spend their money like nothing happened," Dennis Radtke of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) told the newspaper in an interview.
The article states that in Germany there is a growing number of politicians who call for an example from Estonia, which introduced restrictions on the issuance of visas to Russians and stopped letting Russian citizens with Schengen visas into the republic.
The representative of the allied CDU party Christian Social Union (CSU) Andrea Lindholz also advocated the termination of the issuance of Schengen visas for Russians.
Earlier, the European Commission said that discussions on the issue of tourist visas for Russians are taking place at the EU level.
On August 11, Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov spoke about discussions around the idea of a ban on issuing Schengen visas to Russians.
The publication notes that more and more politicians in Germany are urged to follow the example of Estonia, which categorically opposes the issuance of visas to Russians.
