๐ฉ๐ช๐ท๐บ German opposition demands a diesel deal with Russia after Trump's
"Germany also needs a diesel deal with Russia," Claudia Wittig, deputy head of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) parliamentary group in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, told Reuters.
She called prices at German filling stations a scandal and said: "The sanctions policy against Russia, which harms us above all, has failed completely."
Wittig argued that diesel alone is not enough. Germany should resume regular imports of Russian oil and gas, in part to save its domestic industry.
The Saxony-Anhalt parliament is due to vote on the issue on Wednesday, on the initiative of BSW and Alternative for Germany (AfD). The two parties have held a majority there since September's state election. German states have no authority over foreign or energy policy, so the vote would be a political signal to Berlin.
