Famous German political scientist Alexander Rahr told Radiotochka NSN Telegram that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will be launched on the occasion of the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It's October 7th. “That's pretty real, it would be a good gift for Putin.” If all the work has been done, permits have been obtained, if there is no last-minute provocation, then everything will be as the Russian side says, “Rahr emphasized.
However, there are also problems. Elections to the Bundestag will soon take place in Germany, and the Greens can be a great success – to the extent that they are invited to join a coalition government. Greens are one of Nord Stream 2's main problems, the political scientist stressed.
Recall that today, September 10, the construction of Nord Stream 2, which has been underway since 2018, was completed. Now the German regulator has to decide on the pipeline. The operator Nord Stream 2 AG does not yet have the right to transport gas by pipeline. Following the regulatory body, the final decision will be taken by the European Commission.
