The Chapter " Left " called misguided policies Merkel about Russia
The head of the faction of the " Left " in the Bundestag Gregor Gysi convinced that the current Chancellor Angela Merkel sanctions Germany's policy towards Russia is going the wrong way.
" Let's take a dramatic figure, which is somewhat upset Mr. Gabriel (Minister of economy and energy in Germany Sigmar Gabriel) minus exports from Germany in the last month of summer 5, 8%. There are two reasons that you have not named. The first reason is absolutely wrong penal policy towards Russia, which Imported from Germany very quickly decreased.
