"Former Chancellor Schroeder turned into a Russian mercenary, - General Secretary of the Christian Social Union (CSU) party Andreas Scheuer said in an interview with the newspaper. Schroeder's activities in Rosneft stink, here private economic interests are mixed with political interests".

Because of this, the former German Chancellor "created big problems for his SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) party during the election campaign," according to Scheuer.

In turn, Green Party member Tobias Lindner strongly advised Gerhard Schroeder to "think carefully about whether he should take on the job (with Rosneft Group)," the German newspaper noted.
