Alice Weidel, the German chancellor candidate from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has pledged to restart the Nord Stream gas pipeline if elected. This statement was made during the AfD party congress in Riesa, Saxony, where Weidel accepted her nomination for the chancellor candidacy. The Nord Stream pipeline, which connects Russia to Germany, was shut down following the onset of the war in Ukraine. Weidel's promise is part of a broader energy policy restructuring plan that includes dismantling wind turbines and reactivating nuclear power plants.
