NATO is trying to revive plans for a pipeline connecting Catalonia, Spain and France, according to Spanish government sources with Germany said to be “very interested” in the project.
Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported on Sunday that construction of the project would be used to transfer around seven billion cubic metres of natural gas per year from Algeria along with foreign liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments.
Citing an anonymous government source, the report says that the proposal is on Nato’s “working table” and involves eight LNG plants in Spain and Portugal.
Western nations’ increasingly aggressive stance is not prompted by any increase in security threats against these countries — rather, it is caused by a desire to bring about regime changes against governments that pose a threat to the hegemony of imperialism, writes PRABHAT PATNAIK
