Germany requires solidarity while dealing with refugees, but it does not show a similar attitude when the Polish government stands against the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

I fully agree. Everyone should shout, scream and make their objections heard. After everything that Putin has done to weaken the EU and his neighbours over last two years, the decision to continue with the North Stream project is a catastrophe.

But the energy partnership with Russia was a very questionable and asymmetric matter even before the Ukraine crisis. Consider for example the lack of transparency in gas pricing. Currently only two-thirds of the North Stream pipeline’s gas transport capacity is being used. So why do we need another pipeline and even more capacity? For what? I wish Poland would speak up much louder and really criticise Germany on this issue. Warsaw’s objections are fully justified. And I still hope the EU will stop this project because it is against all the rules and agreements of the EU single market.

I was very embarrassed by the German Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel’s recent visit to Moscow. How can it be possible that the Vice-Chancellor of Germany meets with Putin in the midst of this ongoing crisis seeking another dirty deal? This is unbelievable for Germany, and it also represents a big threat for Poland and the entire European Union.

You said there is no rational explanation for developing North Stream 2. So what then pushed Sigmar Gabriel to visit Moscow and discuss it with the Russian president?

The problem is that parts of the Social Democratic Partyin Germany are very much linked to Gerhard Schröder, especially party members from Lower Saxony such as Gabriel. The whole circle surrounding Schröder is a big problem. The influence of the former chancellor in Germany is still significant in terms of energy supplies from Russia. I can only guess what might be the reason for that. I hope that we will get more information when the European Commission takes a close look at the contracts and reveals what the real prices are and who is going to benefit.
