An attempt by right-wing Polish MEPs to force a plenary vote on the controversial gas pipeline between Russia and Germany was blocked for a second time by the two largest groups in the European Parliament on Thursday (29 April), Parliament sources told EURACTIV. The draft resolution by European Conservative and Reformist (ECR) MEPs, Anna Zalewska and Zdzisław Krasnodębski, would have gone further than past votes by Parliament by adopting an opinion solely on the pipeline. The draft highlights how finishing the pipeline would decrease Europe’s energy security and make it more vulnerable because “Russia has already used supplies of energy sources as a tool for political blackmail in the past” and “the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline would increase Russia’s influence in Europe by offering it yet another instrument of political pressure”.
