Jörg Müller, head of the Regional Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Internal Intelligence) in the German state of Brandenburg, told the newspaper "De Welt" German: "The extremists are dreaming of the German winter of fury. They hope that the energy crisis and price increases will affect people so strongly that they can exploit the mood to promote their anti-state aspirations. We are watching these events with vigilant eyes and open ears".

German Interior Minister Nancy Wieser also expressed similar concerns, as she said in statements to the newspaper "Handelsblatt" German: "Of course there is a danger that those who have already stated their contempt for democracy in the time of Corona, often aligned with right-wing extremists, will try to exploit the sharp rise in prices as a new topic of mobilization".

She added that "The enemies of democracy are only waiting to exploit crises to spread fantasies about the end of the world, fear and uncertainty. Such circles are currently looking for new topics to help them mobilize. What has already united right-wing extremists and various other extremist circles in the Corona protests is the common denominator: contempt for democracy and an attempt to undermine confidence in our state.".

Germany drain

Italian economic analyst, George Adamund, said that the risk of a gas shortage in the coming winter has become more clear since the Russian energy company reduced Gazprom Its shipments are greatly affected, especially Germany, which is highly dependent on Russian supplies.

Added by"Sky News Arabia"that "war between Russia Ukraine Many countries in Europe were at risk, led by Germany, which is trying to balance its political role and protect its economy from collapse, as Berlin relies on a third of its imports of Russian oil, 45 percent of its coal purchases, and 55 percent of gas imports from Russia.".

He explained that "If Russian gas is not fully compensated, GDP could fall by 0.2 to 3 percent and the sanctions would cost each German between 100 and 1,000 euros per year, depending on how much Russian gas could be replaced. The government to provide large subsidies may drain the German treasury".

Schultz in trouble

In turn, an analyst specializing in security and strategic affairs, Leon Radziosini, said that the world is witnessing an unprecedented crisis, and the sanctions are being paid for by the Europeans before the Russians, and their repercussions will be catastrophic, and it is expected that widespread unrest will prevail in the event of a prolonged war.

Radziocini added, in statements to"Sky News Arabia"Germany is facing a gas crisis and is in imminent danger, exacerbating the largest economy in Europe and the daily life of its citizens, as German Chancellor Olaf Schultz described the war as an unprecedented threat, both on the security and economic levels, amid bleak prospects for the foreseeable future.

He considered that the Ukrainian crisis turned the old continent’s accounts upside down, as the speed with which the European Union spends cash reserves to cover Kyiv’s expenses is a source of concern for Western countries.

He stressed that the economic impacts will include all countries of the world, with varying rates of impact, and the ability of governments to develop effective strategies to deal with the crisis and provide alternatives to avoid the catastrophic risks of that crisis.

German plans

In the same context, Klaus Muller, head of Germany’s energy grid regulator, said that consumers in Germany should save at least 20 percent of their energy consumption to avoid gas shortages by December due to a decline in Russian gas imports.

Company downgraded "Gazprom" Russian gas flows to Germany via pipeline "Nord Stream 1" to 20 percent of its capacity, increasing pressure on Europe’s largest economy to provide gas for the winter.

Mueller said that Germany should also reduce its gas exports to neighboring countries by 20 percent and import between 10 and 15 gigawatt-hours of gas to avoid the shortage, pointing out in an interview with a newspaper "Welt am Sonntag" Posted Saturday, it "If we don’t save a lot and don’t get any extra gas, we’ll have a problem".

Last month, Germany raised the target level of stored quantities for autumn to 75 percent by September 1, 85 percent by October 1 and 95 percent by November 1 and implemented energy-saving measures.

According to the government’s emergency plan in the gas sector, homes will be given priority in the event of a gas supply crisis, but Mueller said that giving priority does not mean that families can use gas excessively in this case, pointing out that "In order to secure jobs, I think austerity measures for homes are legitimate".
