Former chancellor Schröder lobbies for Nord Stream 2 in German parliament

Ex chancellor Gerhard Schröder was invited to the economic committee of the Bundestag by the leftwing and ex-communist party of the GDR, Die Linke, to speak as an expert on Nord Stream 2 where he spoke against US sanctions against the pipeline and appeals to counter-sanctions:

Schröder is Chairman of the Board of Directors at Nord Stream 2. In the Economic Committee, he now rejected the accusation that Nord Stream 2 jeopardizes Germany's security of supply. The opposite is the case.

The SPD politician also had an answer to the impending US sanctions. Schröder spoke in favor of EU counter-sanctions. The federal government had to put pressure on it at EU level.
