BERLIN, Sept 3 (Reuters) - A European response that involves
the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is needed against Russia after
the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny with a
Soviet-style Novichok nerve agent, a senior German lawmaker in
Chancellor Angela Merkel's party said.
"There must be a European response," Norbert Roettgen told
Deutschlandfunk radio on Thursday. "We must pursue hard
politics, we must respond with the only language (Russian
President Vladimir) Putin understands - that is gas sales," he
said.
