HEIDELBERG (dpa-AFX) – “Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung” on Russia / Navalny / Nordstream II:
“You don’t have to be a hardened cynic to recognize that in the Navalny case all sorts of interest groups are holding up sticks these days. And there is no reason for Germany to jump over each of these sticks. Yes, Russia’s dealings with the” public enemy ” Navalny is scandalous – but the dissident knew about the danger and sought it in order to provoke a constitutional scandal. Objective achieved. Does the calculation justify sanctions? Also questionable is the demand to stop Nordstream II shortly before completion. A gas pipeline, the alternative of which is environmentally harmful American fracking gas would be. That the US administration is seeking it: no wonder. The activists of Fridays For Future should also realize one thing: The alternative is not green electricity. “/ Yyzz / DP / he
