Gunnar Beck, Member of the European Parliament of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, gave an exclusive interview to Breitbart London.

According to the MEP, although Germany inherited some problems from Angela Merkel's era, the German government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz mishandled everything during the energy crisis.

Now that we are trying to phase out Russian gas and other fossil fuels, the situation is a disaster because we have no energy security - provided by Russia - and the prices of possible substitutes, namely American LNG (liquefied natural gas), are about four times as high as Russian of gas. Beck said.

According to the politician, Germany should have done what Hungary did.

It should have been done like Hungary. To state the facts that we are dependent on energy. It should have been said that a quick turn away from Russian energy is not possible for Germany without risking a huge economic crisis in the heart of Europe, towards which we are now heading." he said.
