Το άρθρο του BBC συνεχίζει με μια σειρά από άλλες λεπτομέρειες, αλλά δεν λέει τίποτα για το πιο σημαντικό θέμα αυτή τη στιγμή, δηλαδή τον Nordstream, και τι σημαίνει αυτός ο αγωγός για τη μελλοντική σχέση Γερμανίας (Ευρώπης) - Ρωσίας.The leader of Germany's main governing party, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, is standing down and will not put herself forward to replace Angela Merkel as chancellor.Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer took over as head of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in December 2018.
The protégée of Mrs Merkel was widely seen as her favoured successor.
Her decision comes after fresh questions were raised about her ability to command authority in the party.
Last week, defying Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer, some of the CDU's local politicians in the eastern state of Thuringia voted with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to install liberal candidate Thomas Kemmerich as regional premier.
Mr Kemmerich later said he would resign and seek new elections in the state, "to remove the stain of the AfD's support for the office of the premiership".
Αναγκαστικά λοιπόν, ας δούμε ένα ακόμα άρθρο, με τις δηλώσεις της Kramp-Karrenbauer για τον αγωγό αυτό, όπου βασικά μας λέει ότι "τι να κάνουμε, εγώ δεν τον πολυθέλω τον αγωγό αυτό, οι προηγούμενες κυβερνήσεις τον έφτιαξαν", και "μάλλον θα τον αποδεχτώ -με βαριά καρδιά- γιατί είναι υπερβολικά προχωρημένος για να σταματηθεί πλέον, αλλιώς θα σου έλεγα εγώ":
Nord Stream 2 “not close to my heart” but cannot simply be reversed – CDU leader
Πριν από αυτές τις δηλώσεις, που έγιναν η πολιτικός αυτή ήταν το φαβορί για τη θέση της Μέρκελ. Μετά από αυτές τις δηλώσεις, με την πρώτη αφορμή που βρέθηκε (κάποια μέλη του κόμματος της στήριξαν το ακροδεξιό κόμμα), εξαφανίζεται ουσιαστικά από την πολιτική σκηνή της Γερμανίας.A u-turn on the controversial Russian-German natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 – currently under construction in the Baltic Sea – is unlikely, Christian Democratic Union party head Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told political science magazine Internationale Politik in an interview. “Realistically, it probably cannot be stopped now. There are contracts, there are permits,” the conservative who took over from Chancellor Angela Merkel as party head said. Kramp-Karrenbauer said Nord Stream 2 was “not a project close to my heart” and had been initiated “a long time ago, by a different German government”.
She said the interests of many different countries had to be balanced, but criticised the way the US government tried to assert its economic ones. “It’s not the best interaction between partners and friends to threaten each other with sanctions,” she said. She added that whether Germany is becoming too dependent on Russian gas was a legitimate question, but building domestic liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals reduced this risk.
