Russian President Vladimir Putin — a politician with whom to be reckoned. This was stated by the Deputy of the Hamburg Parliament (government region) Olga Petersen.
Petersen is a member of the German right populist party “Alternative for Germany” (ADH), which criticized the EU authorities for immigration policy and help economically lagging countries of the EU. While ADH stands for normalization of relations with Moscow and recognize Crimea as Russian.
According to Petersen, Berlin needs to help the development of business and friendly relations between Russia and Germany. The German government needs to focus on the benefits of the project “Northern stream — 2” for the country and not just to protect him from US, but also to contribute to its implementation. She also expressed positive views about the figure of President of Russia.
Opinion about Putin in the German population varies. However in one place it still converges: Putin — the President, with whom on the political parquet, it is imperative to be considered, — quotes “Evening Moscow” Petersen.
She added that the Germans remember what is to blame for the Second world war and did not share the position of the European Parliament that the cause was the so-called Molotov — Ribbentrop Pact.
As previously wrote NEWS.ru the foreign Minister of Germany Heiko Maas in a joint article with historian Andres Wirsing called the national socialist regime of Adolf Hitler is the sole culprit of the outbreak of the Second world war.
The authors noted a “shameless attempt to rewrite history”, made in Poland, the Baltic States and some countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
