STORY: Former SPD chancellor Gerhard Schöder, who was heavily criticized for his contacts in Russia, is giving up his position on the supervisory board of the Russian energy company Rosneft. The state oil company announced on Friday that Schröder had informed the company that he could no longer be a member of the supervisory board. On Thursday, the European Parliament pushed for the 78-year-old to be included on the list of sanctions against Russian oligarchs if he held on to his posts in Russian companies despite the war in Ukraine. In addition, Schröder is said to lose privileges as former chancellor. Unlike others, he did not distance himself from Vladimir Putin and his war of aggression, it said. The Budget Committee in the Bundestag decided on Thursday that Schröder should lose his staff and offices in the Bundestag with immediate effect. The deputies followed a corresponding request of the traffic light coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP.
