Dozens of activists disagree with Merkel’s policy toward Russia

A few dozen activists with posters criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her anti-Russian policy at an event in Berlin yesterday. Merkel was calm and encouraged the activists, stating that people had the right to express their opinion. German press show no interest in the activists, photos and videos of the event can only be found on the Internet.

German ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is one of the few German politicians who disagree with the German approach to Russia. He believes that forcing Ukraine to choose between Russia and the EU was not a wise decision. Minister for the Economy Sigmar Gabriel, leader of the German Social Democratic Party, agreed and said that both Russia and Europe were responsible for the events in Ukraine.

Gregor Gysi, leader of the Left Party, wants to be a mediator in the Ukrainian crisis. He urged German leaders to start a new Eastern Policy, be more decisive and help de-escalate the Ukrainian conflict. The politician told his party members to abstain from being one-sided on the issue. The Left Party blames the U.S. for tensions in Ukraine. The resolution urges Germany, NATO, the EU, the US and Russia to abstain from escalating the conflict, considering the attack on the House of Trade Unions in Ukraine. Moreover, the document calls for a halt to the counter-terrorism operation in Ukraine. It justifies the protest by the Maidan activists against the corrupt government of Victor Yanukovych.
