Northern flow 2: Germany receives a request for a building permit, President Biden falls into a ‘dilemma’. (Source: The Brussels Times)

The website Tagesspiegel.de recently published an article titled “A guaranteed gas supply even without the Northern Stream 2 project”.

Accordingly, the Northern Flow 2 gas pipeline project not only supplies gas to Germany and the European Union (EU) but also has strategic implications for the transition of energy, the environment and political geography.

Once again, this has become a central issue in the context of Russia increasing its military forces on the Ukrainian border and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin making his first visit to Germany.

The question is, is this piping system really necessary? What would the consequences be if the pipeline didn’t go into service?

The opinions are mixed

Experts have many different opinions. Some people, like Jens Hobohm from Prognos Institute for Economic Research (Germany), believe that Northern Flow 2 from an energy point of view is necessary and meaningful.

In contrast, expert Claudia Kemfert from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) argues that the answer is “definitely not”.

According to Kemfert, it is not necessary to have any additional infrastructure for the transportation of natural gas from Russia. In addition, the plan to increase natural gas consumption will conflict with the discussed and agreed climate protection goals.

This expert said that there would be no serious problems if the Northern Flow 2 could not be completed and put into operation. If gas from Russia cannot reach Germany through this pipeline system, Germany and Europe will find other energy solutions.

In this regard, new US President Joe Biden has stated that, like his predecessor, Donald Trump, he wants to prevent the completion of the project through the threat of punishing companies involved in the project. .

Still many EU partners believe that, with the assistance of the Northern Flow 2, Germany is acting against the common interests of Europe.

Chairman of the European People’s Party (EPP) group at the European Parliament Manfred Weber said that the Northern Flow 2 project “will definitely not be feasible” if Russian President Vladimir Putin lets the conflict in the region. East Ukraine escalated.

Will the gas supply be at risk then? To answer this question, the forecasts of the amount of gas that Germany and Europe will need in the coming years are central.

From the outset, critics accused the conglomerates that built the pipeline project “inflated” the data on German and European gas demand, making the project indispensable. and completely overwhelmed the opposition.

However, Jens Hobohm believes that this criticism holds true only in previous years, but in recent years, gas consumption in Germany and Europe has increased more than expected due to the need for natural gas. as a bridge for energy transitions.

When countries like Germany give up nuclear power, Poland reduces its dependence on coal, while solar and wind energy are still unable to meet demand, gas is the optimal solution.

According to a study by the Prognos Research Institute, in 2014, the EU consumed 400 billion cubic meters of gas; in 2015, the figure was 419 billion cubic meters and in 2019 it was 470 billion cubic meters.

Consumption figures for 2020 have not been specifically calculated, but according to expert Hobohm, this number is expected to decrease due to the impact of the epidemic of acute respiratory infections Covid-19.

In Germany alone, gas consumption will also increase from 77 billion cubic meters in 2015 to 89 billion cubic meters in 2019, while in 2020 this figure will decrease by about 2.5 percent.

Is that a compelling argument for the construction of the Northern Flow 2 project or would the existing pipes be enough to meet demand?

Is the project really necessary?

If we compare the gas consumption figures for 2019 to 2006, when the first Northern Flow system was planned to be constructed, it can be seen that the consumption volume has never been as high as it was before. Meanwhile, the project construction consortium insists that pipelines are needed as gas consumption will increase continuously. In fact, in 2006, Germany consumed 92 billion cubic meters of gas, while in the EU it was 511 billion cubic meters.

Hobohm adds that Europe’s gas imports from outside Europe depend on how much the continent can produce and to what extent can it meet its own demand?

Currently, the amount of gas produced internally has decreased, partly due to the Netherlands cutting production share faster than planned.

The key point now, experts say, is that the Northern Flow 2 project is still under construction. And Europe has no problems with gas supplies. Whether this project can go into operation or not and never work is an open question.

The later this pipeline is completed, the less necessary it is to be, as the role of natural gas will decline more and more.

Along with that, security policy risks are also very concerned.

First, it is due to the dependence of Europe and Germany on gas from a Russia.

Second, additional risks come from this project because the pipeline runs from Russia through the Baltic Sea and then directly to Germany, not through intermediate states such as Ukraine, Belarus and Poland.

Critics of the project raise two questionable issues.

FirstlyMr. Putin wants free hands to implement his policies with neighboring countries without being afraid to depend on them (when gas exports no longer have to pass through these countries).

Monday, the operation of the Northern Flow 2 system leads to a decrease in the amount of gas flowing through the existing pipes, thereby reducing Ukraine’s income from allowing gas from Russia to transit through its territory. .

The national budget of Kiev will be more than 2 billion euros. Then, the pressure on the EU to increase its aid to Ukraine will grow.

The defendant in the criminal case is Ms. Ngo Thi Thanh (born in 1988, living in Chau Thanh district, Tay Ninh), the defendant is Luong Quyet Tuan (born in 1986, living in Ea H’leo district, Dak Lak). The judgment as the inevitable outcome of a married woman but still has a habit of negligence. Thanh inherently has a pretty, tall appearance, easily captivates the opposite sex by his swinging talk mixed with a sweet smile.

In the maiden period, Thanh was pursued by many boys. Then she went to get married according to her parents’ matchmaking, leaving a lot of regret for young people in the village. Her husband’s house is in a commune in Chau Thanh district, Tay Ninh. Her husband is an industrious person but works as a construction worker so he often goes on a business trip. After the wedding of a year, the two had children, Thanh stayed home to take care of the children and her husband was often busy with work trips. Thanh’s relationship with her husband was only warm in the beginning, and her husband’s farewell trips made Thanh’s love for her husband soon cold.

(Illustration)

Luong Quyet Tuan is a healthy young man with easy-looking appearance. Tuan was originally from Phu Tho, but went to the Central Highlands to do business then went to Tay Ninh. Tuan had a wife’s life and had one child. After the divorce, he left and left the children to his mother’s side. In mid-2017, during a trip Tuan ran into Thanh, the two took their phone number. Through conversation, Tuan knew that Thanh was lonely, her husband was often away from home, so he actively flirted. In his desire to have a man by his side, even though he had a husband and children, Thanh fell into Tuan’s arms despite himself.

Although she knew it was a misguided love, but Thanh defied everything with strange feelings mixed with longing in a stealthy relationship. Tuan was an opportunist. When he took over Thanh’s body, he had despicable intentions. Knowing that Thanh has a family and children, if he reveals a relationship there will definitely be a problem, he secretly records hot pictures after each sex.

After a stealthy time, Thanh realized her wrong path, so around July 2018 she announced the end of her relationship with Tuan, but he disagreed. Due to not having a job, Tuan arose the intention of rape Thanh’s assets for consumption. Tuan repeatedly threatened to post photos and videos of Thanh and the guy having sex on social networks or show them to her husband and family. Tuan provided that, if Thanh did not want to post sensitive images online, he had to give him money. Fear of being discovered by her husband and family, Thanh ran everywhere, borrowing money to give Tuan to cover the truth.

Thanh repeatedly gave money to Tuan, with the total amount of 32 million VND. Specifically, for the first time, around July 2018, after Thanh announced the end of her relationship, Tuan forced her to give 5 million dong. Fearful, Thanh handed over money directly to Tuan at Mo Cong market, Mo Cong commune, Tan Bien district. The next time, Tuan gave Thanh his account number to open at Sacombank so that Thanh could transfer money for convenience. From July 13, 2018 to October 23, 2018, Tuan threatened to release the truth, so afraid that Thanh had to transfer money 10 times with the total amount of 22 million dong.

On the afternoon of November 7, 2018, Tuan repeatedly texted Thanh threatening and asking for 5 million VND or else he would send pictures and videos of two sexual relations to her husband. Thanh thought that she had given money many times and if she continued to accept the conditions, she would definitely become hostage to the vile mistress, so she decided to report to the police.

At around 9:30 am on November 8, 2018, Thanh phoned the police before bringing the money to Tuan’s request at room 16, AL inn in Tan Bien town, Tan Bien district to hand over to Tuan. Tuan was arrested by the police while receiving money from the victim. Thanh breathed a sigh of relief after the days of fearing his mistress’s threats. However, the risk of family breakdown exists when the matter is exposed to the law.

At the police station Tuan admitted all acts of extortion and rape of his property. Tuan said that due to lack of family and lack of money to spend, she should find a way to approach married women to have sex and then proceed with extortion and money. Thanh is just one of Tuan’s victims.

The day the People’s Court of Tan Bien district opened the trial of defendant Tuan on the charge of property rape, Thanh was in the same capacity as the victim, but his application was absent. At the trial, Tuan cried and confessed to the entire offense and asked the Panel to consider the lightest sentence so that he could return to society soon.

The Panel said that the defendant is a person with no job, has committed 12 times of appropriating money from Ms. Thanh. After those times, the defendant used the appropriated money as the main source of life and personal consumption, so the act of being subjected to the aggravating circumstance “Professional in nature”, criminal acts and punishment. is stipulated at Point b, Clause 2, Article 170 of the Penal Code, so it is necessary to hear the defendant with a strict sentence and separate from the social life for a while in order to have conditions for reform and education.

Finally, the Panel decided to punish defendant Tuan for 3 years in prison, compensating for the victim 10 million VND. The offender’s behavior was eventually punished by law, but the consequences of the case are still there. Thanh’s husband and his family were shocked after learning the incident. I wonder if the relationship between Thanh and her husband will still be the same, but perhaps this is a valuable lesson that her life can hardly forget.
