Pressure Germany WITH WHAT exactly? I failed to see how one could pressure Germany, and WHY Germans won't report that "pressure"

Just passing on what I've read...

They want Germany to fire up Nord Stream 2, from which point onwards they can say "as seen in 2021, we can't meet your needs without it" and it never turns off again

Problem with this theory is that Germany is getting gas in full compliance with contracts and actually at lower long-term prices than spot ones.

How Germany could be pressured (with NS-2 or without it)? With what?
