German Greens pledge to axe Russia pipeline
By EUobserver
The German Green Party promised to scrap the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline with Russia if they enter government. "The pipeline project Nord Stream 2 is not only a political project because of its climate and energy implications but also because it causes damage on the geopolitical level," its programme said. The party did well in recent regional elections, but Nord-Stream 2 could be a coalition deal-breaker with the CDU.
