The Prime Minister of the German federal state of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, said that the Nord Stream gas pipeline damaged as a result of the sabotage must be repaired.
Kretschmer is worried about the future: he believes that the Germans will need cheap gasoline after the conflict in Ukraine ends.
He now proposes to protect the Nord Stream from further destruction, reasonably believing that if this is not done now it will take much longer to restore the threads.
Kretschmer emphasized that Germany needs not only expensive liquefied gas. “We will have to evaluate in which country it is possible to acquire cheaper alternatives, because this is in our national interest,” he said.
Kretschmer’s appeal is more likely due to his concern for the future of Saxon industry. The easternmost federal state in Germany, headed by him, has a long industrial tradition. It is in Saxony that most of the so-called. The Central German chemical triangle, which plays an important role in the German chemical industry, which cannot exist without gas, which is necessary for the production of plastics, rubber products, etc.
