AfD Official Meets With Putin Adviser and Gazprom CEO
Markus Frohnmaier of the AfD met with Alexei Miller and Kirill Dmitriev in St. Petersburg to discuss resuming Russian gas deliveries. The party official argued that reopening the Nord Stream pipeline is essential to reversing Germany's current economic downward spiral caused by high energy costs.
Markus Frohnmaier, the foreign policy spokesperson for Germany's AfD party, met with Russian energy and investment officials on Wednesday, June 4, 2024, to demand the reopening of the Nord Stream pipeline. The meeting at an economic conference in St. Petersburg followed a period where German energy costs surged after the loss of cheap Russian imports. This diplomatic defiance signals a potential shift in German energy policy if the rising opposition party gains further political leverage.
