The German authorities have not thought out strategies for refusing Russian gas, which speaks of their relative unrealism, said the deputy of the Bundestag from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party Jan Nolte in an interview with Izvestia.
The parliamentarian noted that Germany needs energy that will satisfy basic needs, for its production you can use atom, coal or gas. The alternatives known to this day are based on plans that have not been fully thought out. “The AfD considers them relatively unrealistic,” Nolte said.
At the same time, the parliamentarian added, other parties in the Bundestag, advocating the refusal to use gas, do not specify how Germany will provide energy.
The gas treaty between Hungary and Russia, which provoked Kiev’s protest, entered into force
In late August, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that Germany would refuse to achieve gas neutrality by 2045, reducing its dependence on gas supplies, including Russian. As the Chancellor noted, the country will consume less gas, and then it “will not flow either through the Nord Stream 2 or through the gas transportation system of Ukraine”. She warned that Ukraine must be prepared for these changes.
