Media: elected representatives of the Bundestag are afraid of meeting Tsipras with Putin
Elected representatives of the Bundestag are afraid that the visit of Prime Minister of Greece Alexis Tsipras in the Russian Federation could undermine the unity of the European Union.
for example, the Commissioner of the German government for German-Russian intersocietal relations Gernot Erler at the beginning of the visit of the Greek Prime Minister in the capital of Russia tried to persuade the EU to unity in regard to the Ukrainian fall.
"Preservation of consensus in the EU is a crucial factor in an attempt to find a political solution," he said in the interview. According to his statement, the EU will have an impact And be treated seriously only if it is to " speak with one voice ".
From the position Erler, Moscow may try to "drive a wedge" in the European Union And to influence countries such as Greece, Hungary And Bulgaria.
for their part, the people's Deputy of the Bundestag Gerda, Hasselfeld representing the fraction of the Christian social Union (CSU), in an interview said that the visit of the Greek Prime Minister in the capital of Russia threatens European solidarity.
"Greece is part of the European Union. And this Union with respect to Russia must be unified, must speak with one voice, - she said.- The Greek government must be, in the end, aware of the gravity of the situation in the European Union ". In her expressions, Tsipras is not obliged to apply their trip to the capital of Russia as a "PR campaign" to get from the Russian Federation more money.
A four-day visit Tsipras in the Russian Federation begins April 8.
