Röttgen alleges Schröder's complicity in concealing details surrounding Navalny's affair

In an interview with Bild newspaper, Norbert Röttgen, a CDU candidate for the chairmanship, has expressed his concern over the poisoning of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny in Russia. Röttgen, who is also the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag, has accused Gerhard Schröder, former Chancellor of Germany, of covering up and concealing Russia's responsibility in the incident.

Röttgen has stated that the Putin system is based on the connection of the security and repression apparatus with an oligarchic billionaire system. He believes that the billionaires in Russia oppress their people during the week and spend their money in places like London, Munich, or elsewhere on weekends, laundering their money in the process.

Röttgen has called for targeted sanctions against the entourage of Russian President Vladimir Putin, specifically those who bear direct responsibility for crimes. He has identified specific Russian officials and entities linked to the poisoning and persecution of Alexei Navalny as targets for these sanctions.

Röttgen's call for sanctions comes amidst ongoing international criticism of Russia's actions regarding Navalny's poisoning. He has suggested that both the money and the people should be targeted in Europe to prevent the laundering of dirty money.

Many Germans, including Röttgen, feel shame about Schröder's behaviour in the Navalny case. Schröder is currently in paid service in the Russian oil and gas business. Röttgen has expressed feelings of shame among many Germans about Schröder's behaviour.

Röttgen's comments follow the revelation that Navalny was poisoned with a Russian chemical weapon in Russia. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for action from the international community.

In light of these events, Röttgen's call for targeted sanctions against those responsible for Navalny's poisoning is a significant development in the ongoing international response to Russia's actions. It remains to be seen how the German government and other nations will respond to Röttgen's call for action.
