German chancellor calls for unbiased investigation into Nord Stream sabotage
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged to carry out an unbiased investigation into the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 sabotage and to bring those responsible to justice in Germany, Paralel.Az reports citing the DPA news agency.
"It was a terrorist attack," Scholz told the public in the northeast German town of Prenzlau. "We call upon all security agencies and the attorney general to carry out an unbiased investigation."
"We want to bring to justice those responsible, and, if we manage to catch them, we want to try them in Germany. Trust me, we will not spare them," Scholz added.
The head of the German government said his country had to spend "more than 100 billion euro" to replace Russian natural gas delivered via the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines with fuel from other sources, including LNG, as well as to support its citizens and businesses.
In his words, gas prices had to be brought down to keep businesses afloat and to make sure that individuals can afford gas in their households.
