Is this even technically possible? Haven't they already postponed the shutdown a few times? Currently at 34449/50000, although I don't know if brigading then like this will be okay.

Well, the government is right now struggling with itself to draft a bill to postpone the shutdown of two of the remaining three 3 NPPs until spring next year. If that fails, the current law requires that they shut down by the end of this year. The 3rd one will be shut down by the end of this year regardless.

    In fact this started already many years ago. When the Soviet Union collapsed and the Russian Federation assumed its place, Germany still had the upper hand in the German-Russian relations I think. Germany had supported Russia with loans. They even sent financial aid to Russia in order to help them support their own soldiers that were returning from former East Germany in 1994. But in time Russia's economy grew and with the initiation of the German "Energiewende" and the beginning of the nuclear phase-out in 2011 Germany more and more relied on Russian gas.

What do you mean by "brigading like this"? The German parliament (Bundestag) doesn't restrict the right to support petitions to German citizens or to people with German residency even. I'm not a lawyer but I think this is in line with the fact that "jedermann" (everyone) is allowed to submit petitions to the parliament. The "basic rights" listed in the German constitution are really valid for everyone.

  You are correct, it's article 17 of the Grundgesetz [1] and due to the stipulation of "jedermann" (everyone) any person regardless of age, place of residency or citizenship has the right to petition the German parliament.
