“Schroeder must leave Russian companies”
For several days now, European states have been imposing various sanctions on Russia. Now the German “Bild” has announced that Borussia Dortmund is calling on former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to resign from positions in Russian companies.
– In our opinion, in a situation where innocent people are killed by bombs every day, Schroeder must step down from managerial positions in Russian state-owned companies. We sincerely hope that he will come to that conclusion. – Otherwise the club will ‘make the right decision. Of course, the president of our club – Reinhard Rauball will also talk to him – adds BVB.
Schroeder has been Putin’s friend for years. He was once even supposed to say that he was a “flawless Democrat” who was accused of “an alleged Russian threat.” Schroeder is the head of the supervisory board of the Russian oil company Rosneft, he also occupies an important position at Nord Stream, and from June this year he is also to be at Gazprom.
– First of all, it is important that we emphasize that Borussia Dortmund considers the Russian aggression against Ukraine to be a gross violation of the applicable international law. The BVB family deeply condemns this heinous aggression. During his political work as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, we got to know Gerhard Schroeder as a brave, brave Democrat who defended his liberal worldview even against resistance. We like to remember Gerhard Schroeder like that and we hope that this Gerhard Schroeder not only has a past but also a future at BVB, wrote the German club.
Gerhard Schroeder was chancellor of Germany from 1998-2005.
