The French called the “worst enemy” of the European Union

MOSCOW, 3 Sep — PRIME. The reaction of European countries to Gazprom’s statements about the suspension of Nord Stream until the engine malfunction is fixed does not correspond to loud words about abandoning dependence on Russian fuel, readers of the French newspaper Le Figaro believe.

Most of them noticed the US footprint in the stubborn desire of the EU countries to abruptly and thoughtlessly cut off energy ties with Russia.

“Who is our worst enemy? Putin? Or Germany, which is doing its best to get France to phase out nuclear energy and finally get rare and expensive electricity, but which is reopening its coal-fired plants? Or the United States, which is forcing the EU to fall out with your supplier to be able to dump your shale gas, a source of pollution? Who will protect the interests of the French?” — wrote a user named Anne-Louise.

“Fortunately, our Engie will receive huge supplies of shale gas from the US, our saviors, to whom we will pay at least five times more. we pay them for their inflated prices for hydrocarbons) further increases our dependence and, therefore, our enslavement … Europe with our current leaders is dead … “- stated the user Curieux.

“Why are we noing? We have two brand new beautiful pipes, Nord Stream 2, but they don’t want to use them, even if the rest of the gas pipelines fail! In fact, Washington doesn’t want this, and our politicians fall on their faces, not after asking the opinion of the population,” cagnotte said indignantly.

“European governments, coordinating every step with American policy, impose sanctions on Russia, supply weapons to Zelensky and then are surprised that the Russian government is responsible…” summed up the user rongeur joyeux.

On Friday, Gazprom received a warning from Rostekhnadzor about its malfunction, after which it was decided to completely stop the operation of Nord Stream until the problems were fixed.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called the situation around the pipeline a crisis, but noted that Gazprom was not to blame for this, since it had repeatedly expressed its readiness to continue fulfilling its obligations, but the European side itself was preventing this.
