DISINFO: Sweden has decided to obstruct Nordstream 2

SUMMARY

Sweden has decided to obstruct the project of the gas pipeline Nordstream 2. A member of the Swedish parliament has appealed for this to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden.

RESPONSE

A recurring disinformation narrative about the Nord Stream 2. A question in the parliament does not mean that Sweden “will obstruct” the construction of Nord Stream 2. Sweden’s government has declared that the country is skeptical towards the project, but does not have any legal abilities to act against it.
