"Scholz called on Serbs to make sacrifices for Europe, for so-called 'sustainable' energy." 'Europe' means, of course - Volkswagen. The displacement of 20000 families and the poisoning of fertile soil for future generations. Yes, that's what 'sustainable' means - sustainable in death," he said, among other things
