The Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Manuela Schwesig, is under fire. She is accused of being far too close to the Kremlin and Gazprom. When promoting the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, she allowed herself to be made into Putin’s puppet, some even write. So is she about to resign?
“What she (Manuela Schwesig) can protect is that there are very prominent comrades, not only former Chancellor Schröder, but also the Federal President, all of whom have a history with Russia”says the head of the capital city studios of RTL and ntv, Jutta Bielig-Wonka.
Pressure on Manuela Schwesig is increasing
In general, politicians have now held on to power longer than years ago. “There used to be more resignation. In the last few months or years, even in the final phase of the Merkel government, it has been noticed that many tend to stay in office. Even if you would have said in earlier circumstances, it is better to resign”so Bielig-Wonka in the 257th edition of the podcast “important today”.

But what does taking responsibility in politics actually mean after a mistake? Stay and correct mistakes or resign directly? The pressure on Family Minister Anne Spiegel was too great in the last week, she is now history.
In the current situation surrounding Prime Minister Schwesig, one must now look at how serious her involvement in the Nord Stream 2 project is, says Bielig-Wonka: “She is a very powerful woman in the SPD and also a very powerful woman in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. I think the facts that are on the table are already very overwhelming and it is now a matter of judgment. At the moment, since she is not completely alone with this Russia and Putin issue and ‘we were wrong’, other powerful comrades also have the issue, so from her point of view the matter is not yet lost.”
