Former German Chancellor Merkel was not a climate science denier per se, but she acted like one by makingt the German economy addicted to Russian methane so that's all that really matters to me.
New reporting indicates that Angela Merkel was aware of Russia's intention to reduce gas supply to blackmail Europe to speed up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline launch but concealed the information, German media outlet Handelsblatt reported on June 6, citing classified documents it had obtained.
@GreenFire My question is….how did they get classified documents? They should be in jail for even receiving them let alone disseminating the info.

I think that @HistoPol would be a better source to ask this:
"My question is….how did they get classified documents? They should be in jail for even receiving them let alone disseminating the info."
I'll add that with all of the weaponized disinfo being thrown at us during this hybrid war that we should not come to conclusions on this kind of stuff too early in investigation.

"...we should not come to conclusions on this kind of stuff too early in investigation."
Absolutely.
This newspaper article* even comes to the conclusion, that the facts might never be unearthed, being swept under the rug of history by Germany's (historically) two biggest parties, the FDP and the CDU, who have been providing Germany's chancellors for decades.
My gut feeling has been since...
#DEpol #Merkel #Scholz #NordStream2
...#NordStream2 was blown up that the secrets envolved could lead to a much bigger scandal than Watergate.
But that is just a hunch so far.

#Europe is not the #US. In several countries, including #Germany, an independent press serves as an important Fourth Estate in the system of checks and balances.
Some #German newspapers, such as the #SüddeutscheZeitung, are part of an international cross-media...

Connecting the dots: Hardly a week seems to pass by without a new scandal involving a representative of the extremist right-wing AfD (#NoAfD) party. Several "allegedly" have received huge sums of money in return for access to the #German and #European parliaments.
Now, there is no indication that either #Scholz or #Merkel ever...

I am positive that the former #KGB agent was an avoid student of #SunTzu.
And now, let's ask the decisi ve question of the evening:
...
#DEpol #RUSpol #HybridWarfare #InfoWarfare
...IF bribery was only attempted and NO other key personnel at the #CDU and #SPD were really involved, *why are both parties stonewalling?!?*
Finally, YES, this is a matter of #NationalSecurity (or rather #EUsecurity.) HOWEVER, the current (scarce, admittedly) evidence rather seems to suggest that the political leaders might have been *knowingly* endangering EU security.
Therefore, a...

...complete official investigation with full access rights is, in my view, essential.
If a public official committed high treason, we all need to know and they need to be held to account, in #Europe, #America, and elsewhere.
