United hard-core communists of CSU-CDU-FDP-SPD-Greens-Lefts devastated German economy completely by crazy green energy mumbo-jumbo.
Now the country completely depends on Russian gas, without it its industry is gone.
Most of Germans hate incompetent Scholz's government and begin to demand its resignation.
To prevent it Interior Minister begins to scary protesters before protests erupted.
What will she do later?
Shot against the people?
In all countries communists are equal: at first they robe and devastate, later they imprison and murder

Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, on Sunday, warned of possible radical protests in the country amid soaring energy prices in the country. Hit by Russia’s cut in supply of hydrocarbons, Europe’s largest economy is now battered with a shortage of natural gas. Addressing media about the same, Faeser reckoned that there was a “risk” that several radical groups could use the ongoing inflation of fuel prices as a “new mobilization theme” for protests.

“Of course, there is a risk that those who, even during the coronavirus pandemic, showed their contempt for democracy and often associated with right-wing extremists, will try to use skyrocketing prices as a new mobilization theme,” the lawmaker told the Handelsblatt newspaper.

At present, the country is governed by the so-called ‘Traffic Light Coalition’ led by socialist Olaf Scholz. As the Kremlin continues to slash fuel supply, Germany is currently underfilled in order to survive the winter without gas from Russia, as per the head of the Federal Network Agency (German regulator) Klaus Müller. The shortage, according to Faeser, has now given a chance for extremists to sow hatred and divide in the country.

“At the same time, populists and extremists use every crisis to sow fear and divide society, as well as for hatred and threats”, Faeser added.

Gazprom shut down Nord Stream 1 pipeline for maintenance ​

Earlier this month, Russia's main gas supplier Gazprom shut down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which is the main route for supplying gas from the Russian Federation to Europe. Gazprom said that it suspended the operation of the gas pipeline for 10 days for maintenance. German officials have expressed concern that Russia might not start supplying gas to full capacity to Europe citing a technical reason.

In June, Gazprom had reduced the supply of gas through Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany by 60% citing technical issues over equipment that Siemens Energy in Canada did not return to Moscow due to sanctions imposed against Russia. According to AP, German leaders had refuted claims of Russia for a reduction in gas supply announced in June calling the decision political in a bid to further increase the energy prices.

‘We were all wrong’: how Germany got hooked on Russian energy

The long read: Germany has been forced to admit it was a terrible mistake to become so dependent on Russian oil and gas. So why did it happen?

Before the signing, Nato had discreetly written to the German economics ministry to inquire about the security implications. Norbert Plesser, head of the gas department at the ministry, had assured Nato that there was no cause for alarm: Germany would never rely on Russia for even 10% of its gas supplies.

Half a century later, in 2020, Russia would supply more than half of Germany’s natural gas and about a third of all the oil that Germans burned to heat homes, power factories and fuel vehicles. Roughly half of Germany’s coal imports, which are essential to its steel manufacturing, came from Russia.

An arrangement that began as a peacetime opening to a former foe has turned into an instrument of aggression. Germany is now funding Russia’s war

Fascinating, how Baron says a policy begun in 1970 is the fault of the current admin.
