“As things stand, this pipeline cannot be approved.”

A foreign politician in the CDU, Norbert Röttgen, has called for a clear stand on the controversial Baltic Sea pipeline, Nord Stream 2 from B aerbock of the CDU president, announces to the German news agency DPA. The fact that Barbock “takes a clear stand” is also a question of her credibility after years of calling for the pipeline to be halted as an opposition policy. Ever since the SPD, Greens and FDP’s traffic light government started, Baerbock has been in trouble because SPD supports the pipeline project in principle. Barbock told ZDF Sunday evening that traffic light parties SPD, Greens and the FDP had agreed in the coalition agreement that European energy law would apply to energy projects — “which means that, as things stand, this pipeline cannot be approved because compliance is not met.” with the requirements of European energy law and security issues remain anyway.” In addition, it was discussed between the United States of America and the former federal government that “this pipeline can no longer be operated in the event of further escalation.”
