There is no alternative to Russian gas, neither in terms of price nor supply reliability. It was stated TASS Steffen Kotre, member of the Bundestag, member of the Parliamentary Energy and Climate Protection Committee, from the Alternative for Germany group.
“Russian gas cannot be substituted either in terms of price or reliability of supply,” Cotre said.
He explained that it is impossible to establish long-term stable relationships with suppliers from the unstable Sahara region or other African countries. According to the MP, the desire for this shows the childishness of European politicians who ignore the real situation.
Kotre pointed out that African gas should be left on the continent because African countries also need it. He reminded that the agreement on the construction of the 4,000 km long Trans-Saharan natural gas pipeline for the transport of fuel from Nigeria to Algeria via Niger has not been implemented since 2009.
