Media: In Germany, a dispute flared up because of the attitude to Russia

The number of politicians involved in the debate about how Germany should build relations with Russia is increasing, reports RIA News with reference to the German press.

Media: In Germany, a dispute flared up because of the attitude to Russia


Commenting on the recent statement by the Prime Minister of Bavaria, the head of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Horst Seehofer, the coordinator of German-Russian cooperation Gernot Erler accused him of negligence.

Earlier, Seehofer demanded that the leader of the Social Democrats (SPD), Sigmar Gabriel, provide information on how much his party members trust Merkel’s activities regarding the Russian Federation. The politician promised to bring this issue up for discussion on Tuesday, when the leaders of the two parties will meet.

According to Erler, the chairman of the CSU "with his remarks provoked international confusion for no real reason."

The demands of the Bavarian prime minister have been criticized by other politicians. For example, Nils Annen (SPD spokesperson) called his statement “too caustic”. And his fellow party member Rolf Mutzenich, in turn, advised Seehofer to pay attention to his party, many of whose representatives have ties with Russia.

German media reported earlier that "the positions of Chancellor Angela Merkel and Minister Steinmeier, a member of the SPD, are somewhat different from Russia in the light of the Ukrainian conflict." The Chancellor declared that the West should not be “too good-natured towards Russia,” and Steinmeier, on the contrary, called for restraint.

The CSU leader Seehofer accused Steinmeier of "conducting his own diplomacy at the same time as Merkel".

    Tearing in the ruling elites indicates that not all politicians are willing to humbly dance to the tune of the Americans! It's good. There are Germans who have their own point of view, but the Janescans have no leverage to pressure them (compromising evidence)! And Merkel from the very beginning under the nail, IMHO.

        No matter how the business elite raged, Germany will remain in the top six with the United States, and for a long time.

        Germany already tried to listen to Putin, and tried to become independent, but there was not enough roofing felts, felts for naivety, they did not succeed .....

        Everyone remembers how recently Germany decided to regain all the gold that is stored in the United States, but the US Federal Reserve said that this was impossible, since the entire operation could be delayed until 2020.

        The states somehow became aware of Germany's "bad" intentions, and they simply said: "Guys, you will not see your gold as your own ears" So Germany is forced to obey today.

        And the euphoria about the fact that now - dissenting politicians and business will rock the boat, they won’t do anything. All Deutsche Banks tied to the US Federal Reserve. The states can easily impose sanctions against the financial sector in Germany, and the businessmen there will not like it.
        The states will just say now: Choose what it will be - BAD or VERY BAD.
        And everything, shut up quickly.

          I agree with you! But here you need to understand that no one has pulled his gold from Amers since the time of Charles de Gaulle. All creeps immediately cut. Okay with Germany, China can't either! Anyway, no one will be able to return who gave the Yandex storage. I would not be surprised that all the amer’s reserves have long been in a different place, and Fort Knox has long been empty, well, or full of tungsten ingots ... gilded.

            You can return it, if you wish. The watchman has no right to dictate his terms to the owner. Another thing is that the "watchman" has leverage over the "owner", which is why he is afraid to demand the return of his goods.

        The article mentions the name of Seehofer. And this receiver of Steuiber (also a minister-president of Bavaria)
        So in the mid-90s to the mid-2000s, Stoiber was Luzhkov's "dumb sidekick". They then drove meat to Russia from 20 to 40 trucks a day. At the same time, getting a double fat. The first is from sales and the second is a subsidy from the European Union for exported meat outside the EU. Moreover, plastic molds were even made in which the "patrocha" was frozen. And subsidies were paid for a kilogram of exported products. Does anyone really think that such large volumes were unnoticed by the special services. And this is dirt that was "unnoticed by the authorities." And that's just a tiny fraction. Likewise, Merkel was the chairman of the commission that "ripped apart the GDR" hi

      Those who are affixed to the United States have danced and will dance to their tune (Merkel, Gauck, etc.). The United States confidently controls Merkel, as an agent of STASI and a member of the leadership of the German Youth Union in the past. In addition, according to the constitutional law G20, the American occupation units may impose martial law on German territories without the consent of the local authorities, i.e. de jure Germany - a state occupied by Americans, and even legally. The German gold reserve has still not returned to its homeland from US banks and no one already knows if this is possible ...

      He was a witness. Russian-German company. Dies (end of last century). Already mentally put an end to. Suddenly, another German enterprise enters, enters with new technology. The popular opinion is that our women are to blame for everything. The Germans who took root could not come to terms with the prospect of parting with heartfelt sympathies, which also found the situation immensely tragic. And they persuaded the employees of another enterprise in Germany to fit into the topic, explaining to the owners the bright prospects. Now there is a working company in Russia and a number of happy people. Because our women are for Germans of unearthly beauty and great wisdom. And the Germans, compared to most local ones, are healthier, richer and easier to manage in the sense of limiting wine drinking. Which is also very important.

    Well, in your definition, not a single point converges ... Citizens of Germany have even more rights than in the United States, no one siphons resources from Germany, Germany has its own army and government, expresses a point of view different from Washington's (in Libyan and Iraqi issues) ... It's another matter that with regard to Russia, the United States recalls its Atlantic pact and exerts unprecedented pressure on Germany, and on France too ... This is facilitated by American bases, the "chancellor's act" (if any) and pressure through the financial sector ... For example, the return of the Mistrals to Russia is linked to the case of the French bank BNP Paribas, according to which Washington believes it has the right to claim up to $ 9,5 billion in an alleged money laundering case ... and with all the losses at the expense of Germany and the initiator of all this Great Britain (it is clear from whose submission) ... And in these countries, no state formations decide anything ... Sun It is not the "multinationals", transnational corporations that decide ... All politicians, they do not decide anything, they only voice the point of view of their "democratic" masters ... And their colony is the whole world ... Both the United States and Russia too ..

    Yes, we just need to turn from West to East. In Germany, this is not a sovereign state, as indeed France. There is nothing to talk about small Britain. We need to clutch our teeth and work, but we will more talk and expect that the forces of reason will prevail in Germany. May they not win, as in France and Italy. They are dependent on each other and at the same time with the USA, which influence the geyropa with their bases. The United States is gradually bringing the war to a permanent state on the Ruin, which will affect the largest continent in the world: from the smelly geyropa to Vladivostok. Russia will be forced to defend Novorossia, and this will anger fans of the anus. And the result is that the EU and Russia will not have any normal relations. We must build our industry, recreate all industries and produce all the most basic things ourselves. And with the geyropa do not stop blah blah. After all, they need to sell goods somewhere. And people like Lithuania simply ignore and show her that without Russia it is nothing like Latvia.
