This is revisionist history and your completely false accusations put it near Russian propaganda territory. I challenge you to find even a single proof for what you wrote.
The Greens were the only party calling for embargoes against Russia to stop importing Russian gas all together in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. They also opposed Nord Stream 2 from the beginning. They inherited the clusterfuck the conservatives left them when they got elected in 2021 and now have to deal with what they have.
The conservatives killed the German solar industry (world leader at the time in the 2000s) and also killed the wind turbine industry shortly after. Reason? China was cheaper.
The Greens were also the first to call for weapons for Ukraine while other parties struggled to even make statements.
- someguydave 4y agoRussian propagandists would accuse Russia of secret interference in European politics? Of course evidence on these matters is going to be hard to find. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/19/russia-secretly-working-with-environmentalists-to-oppose-fracking https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/19/russia-s...
- foepys 4y agoYour "proof" is not supporting anything. Environmentalists can be anybody. Russia didn't want Germany to utilize fracking gas because this would mean that Germany doesn't need Russia anymore. The Green party opposes any gas where possible. Just because Russia financed a few fringe groups doesn't mean that the Green party is in bed with Russia. https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/nord-stream-2-die-gruenen-sind-uneins-ob-sie-das-pipeline-projekt-stoppen-wuerden-a-b2120c02-0002-0001-0000-000178494482 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/nord-stream-2-die... This clearly proves that in June 2021 the Greens already predicted what would happen in 2022 and opposed the opening of Nord Stream 2 because of geopolitical and security risks.
