For repairs to the Nord Stream pipelines to be possible, the Danish and Swedish governments need to give the green light.
The damage has occurred in the two Scandinavian countries' respective economic zones.
The moderates. The Christian Democrats and the Sweden Democrats are all opponents of Nord Stream 2.
The SD politician Aron Emilsson, who has been given the difficult post of chairman of the foreign affairs committee, tells Ekot that the government in Sweden may very well put an end to all plans for repairs.
Hans Wallmark (M) does not rule out nor that a government led by Ulf Kristersson can make such a decision. However, he wants to wait a while first.
– It is no secret what we have had to say about Nord Stream as the security policy weapon it is used as. But it is important that the authorities come up with a correct basis, says Wallmark to Ekot.
Who is behind the sabotage of the Nord stream lines is unclear. In the Western media, it is claimed that it must be the Russians who for some reason blew up their own gas pipelines, while others direct the suspicions to the West.
Sweden has blocked off the sea area around the leak in the Swedish economic zone. It has previously been reported that ships from the Swedish Navy cruised the area in the days before the explosions and turned off their transmitters when they approached the specific locations where the explosions then took place.
