Germany's Free Democratic Party in Favour of NS2

NATURAL GAS

Deputy leader of the Free Democratic Party of Germany Wolfgang Kubicki has spoken out in favour of opening the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

  • "We should open Nord Stream 2 as soon as possible to fill our gas storage facilities for the winter," Kubicki said. There is "no good reason not to open Nord Stream 2,"
  • "If we get more gas this way, maybe even the entire contractually guaranteed amount, that will help people not have to freeze in winter and our industry will not suffer serious damage," said Kubicki. "Once the gas storage tanks are full, we can close Nord Stream 2 again - and the other pipelines too, once we've become independent. But we're not that yet."
