Schröder si dimette dal suo ruolo nell'amministrazione di Putin
In recent developments, Jürgen Hardt, an expert in foreign policy for the CDU, has expressed his concerns about the strained relations between Germany and Russia, particularly in light of the Navalny case. Hardt believes that former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who holds leadership positions in Russian companies, is too entangled with the Putin regime to make an objective assessment of issues related to Russia.
The Navalny case has further strained relations between Germany and Russia, with Schröder being accused of significantly harming German foreign policy by standing alongside President Vladimir Putin. Hardt's criticisms of Schröder's stance in the Navalny case are based on this belief, and he has called for Schröder to step down from his leadership positions in Russian companies.
The future of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline remains uncertain under these circumstances, according to Hardt. He does not consider the Nord Stream 2 project economically sensible and suggests coordinating within the European Union on the share of Russian gas they want in their energy mix. This coordination, Hardt hopes, will help reduce Germany's dependence on Russian gas.
Hardt's calls for Schröder to apologize for his stance in the Navalny case have so far been unheeded due to economic and personal closeness to Putin. However, his suggestions are gaining traction in political circles, and there are increasing calls for transparency and accountability regarding Schröder's foreign policy decisions.
In addition, Hardt suggests that Schröder's email communication with Russian officials could potentially be scrutinized. As of now, no companies publicly list Gerhard Schröder as a current board member; he resigned from his position as chairman of the supervisory board of Rosneft in May 2022 and had previously declined a Gazprom supervisory board nomination. There are no verified reports of him serving on any corporate boards presently.
Schröder, however, is "one-sidedly" adopting the Kremlin's argumentation in the Navalny case, according to Hardt. This adoption, Hardt argues, is not conducive to maintaining a balanced and objective approach to Russian affairs.
In conclusion, the Navalny case has sparked a significant debate about the role of former German leaders in Russian affairs, with Jürgen Hardt leading the charge for transparency and accountability. The future of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and Germany's dependence on Russian gas remain uncertain, and Hardt's suggestions for coordination within the EU could potentially shape the future of Germany's energy policy.
