Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder will be nominated as a member of Gazprom’s Supervisory Board, the Russian energy giant in St. Petersburg announced today.
The regular General Assembly is scheduled for June 30, and Schroeder is set to replace Timur Kulimbayev, the son-in-law of former Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who was ousted in January.
Gerhard Schroeder, 77, is already chairman of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline company and chairman of the board of Nord Stream 2, as well as chairman of the supervisory board of state-owned energy company Rosneft.
Mr Schroeder recently criticized Ukraine’s demands for a surrender of arms, calling for “a cessation of hostilities”.
In addition, he expressed Moscow’s dissatisfaction with NATO moves in the Baltic Sea and Poland, and his stance was criticized even within the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
The leader of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU) in Hamburg, Christoph Plus, even demanded that Mr. Schroeder be stripped of his office in the Bundestag. “His behavior is simply shameful and unworthy of a former chancellor,” Mr Plos told Der Spiegel.
