Bundestag deputy from the Left party Sarah Wagenknecht criticized the calls of certain representatives of the German authorities to ban the further construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Recall, that a whole group of German politicians, including government officials, announced its readiness to support sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the "poisoning of Navalny". German Defense Minister Kramp-Karrenbauer even stated, that chemical weapons were used against the Russian oppositionist, just didn't specify, where exactly applied, if consider, that Navalny was delivered to Germany in a stable condition.
According to Sarah Wagenknecht, it is extremely surprising for her, that the German government suddenly again decided to take care of the state of affairs with human rights in Russia and, on this basis, close the construction of a gas pipeline from the Russian Federation to Germany.
Sarah Vagenkneht:
But if some of our politicians are so concerned about human rights abroad, why do we then continue to buy energy from the United States and Saudi Arabia. In these countries, outright crimes are committed against the rights and freedoms of citizens..
noted, that the United States and Saudi Arabia are executing people, the Saudi regime cracks down on its opponents even in diplomatic missions on the territory of foreign states (refers to the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi).
Sarah Vagenkneht:
US uses drones, under the blows of which hundreds of innocent people fall. And here (in the case of Navalny) no confirmation at all, that the Kremlin is to blame, but we are already talking about sanctions against Russia. Only those, who demands sanctions against SP-2, must face the shareholders of hundreds of companies, participating in this major project.
According to Sarah Wagenknecht, if one of the German officials is ready to impose sanctions for human rights violations in foreign countries, then it must be consistent, and not selective:
so, we need to abandon oil from the United States and Saudi Arabia.
