The German Economy Minister says Germans will be happy to have their lives ruined.
“If the storage facilities in Germany were mathematically 100% full… we could do without Russian gas completely… for just about two-and-a-half months and then the storage tanks will be empty,” he told the Maybrit Illner program Thursday on the German ZDF channel.
Economy Minister Robert Habeck also told the newspaper Der Spiegel on Friday Germany could be forced to close down entire industrial sectors if there is a nationwide natural gas shortage.
All factory activities will be suspended. It will be a disaster for some industries. And we are not talking about two days or weeks, but about a long time. We are talking about people, who will lose their jobs and regions that will lose entire industrial complexes,” Habeck said.
The minister insisted, however, that Germans are united in the face of these difficulties, support anti-Russia sanctions, and are ready to endure some degree of hardship.”
