The German candidate to be the president of the EU Commission, Manfred Weber, has said that if he were to be elected, he would stop the construction of the Stream 2 gas pipeline near Russia, most likely because he thinks the EU should not rely on Russian gas. Weber has said that he would stop at nothing to be able to stop the construction of the gas pipeline, whatever law necessary. Weber has also said that he is not the candidate of Germany, but the EPP.

Germany is currently split on this decision. Some say that the construction of the Stream 2 gas pipeline would be extremely important for Germany’s ability to produce energy. Germany will be giving up the use of coal and nuclear material, so they need to replace the lost power sources with something, and it would the Russian gas. But the people who wish to have the gas pipeline  cancelled say that if it is constructed, Germany will be more dependant on Russia for power, and that it will have some safety policy effects as well. Also it would most likely hurt Germany’s internal markets.The United States have told the EU and Germany to give up on the Gas pipeline, and stop constructing it.
