The DUH spokesman said this on Thursday, July 15, after an administrative court in Schwerin rejected the organization’s claim the day before. The lawsuit challenged the foundation’s public benefit status.
This status, established by the tax office, is an important component of any public organization in Germany and provides an opportunity to receive donations that sponsors can use to reduce taxes.
The next step for DUH will be a lawsuit with the highest administrative court in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Greiswald. The head of Deutsche Umwelthilfe, Sasha Müller-Krenner, said that this is a “fake fund” that deceives citizens, claiming that it is engaged in climate protection.
In fact, according to her, the fund is “pushing through Europe’s largest project in the field of traditional energy sources.”
According to the plans of the land authorities, the fund should quickly and in reserve purchase equipment and materials necessary to complete the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, as well as transfer them to the implementation of the project, thereby removing the threat of sanctions from suppliers and contractors.
