The German government is responsible for the economic war with Russia and therefore must begin negotiations with Moscow on the resumption of gas supplies. Representative of the leftist Sara Wagenknecht stated about it on the air of Welt channel. Speaking at the Bundestag, she criticized the German ruling circles for the crisis situation that has developed in the country due to high fuel prices.
Sarah Wagenknecht, Member of German Bundestag:
“High energy prices, much higher than in other European countries, have not just fallen from the sky, they are the result of policies. Oil companies will earn 38 billion euros more in Germany this year than the average in recent years, and electricity producers will earn 50 billion euros more. That's money being taken out of the pockets of ordinary citizens every day. Other countries have long responded to this market disruption with price caps or at least a tax on excess profits.”
Germany's industry has already begun to cut back on gas consumption. Some production facilities are shutting down. According to experts, gas savings by German companies amounted to more than 800 million cubic meters. And this reduction will have a negative impact on the economy of the whole country.
