(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, FEB 1 - The German government on Monday said it had not changed its "basic position" in support of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia, despite French calls to scrap the controversial project in protest at Moscow's opposition crackdown. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokeswoman Martina Fietz said she had "no new updates" on the project. "The government has not changed its basic position," she told reporters. (ANSA-AFP).
