German economy minister - against Russian energy import embargo

  "Robert Habeck, Germany 's economy minister, has spoken out against Russia' s energy embargo, saying it could jeopardize social cohesion in his country.

 

    Germany receives about half of its coal and gas imports from Russia, as well as a third of its oil needs.

 

    Habeck, who is also Germany's vice-chancellor, said on Thursday that his country needed to "get rid of Russia's energy imports," but acknowledged that it would take time.

 

    Mr Habeck told reporters in Berlin that the government was working on a number of measures to speed up energy independence, including securing new suppliers and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.

 

    He did not discuss the possibility for Germany to extend the life of the three remaining nuclear power plants, which are scheduled to close this year, but added that the issue could be considered "if it would help".

 

    According to Habeck, the government will also consider and develop energy efficiency measures to reduce demand, and called on the population to contribute. "

 

Nobody even talks about the danger to social cohesion in Lithuania. Gabriel Landsbergis' ears are modestly kept close to his skull as he approaches the majestic Queen Martha - this is the entire social cohesion of Lithuania.
