    Specifically this refers to the criminalization of Stop Oil and Palestine Action and the torture of Julian Assange.

    I mean wouldn’t that require, say, Germany to follow these standards first?

      I wholeheartedly agree that Germany is falling significantly below these standards and should face repercussions by the EU. Unfortunately the sanctioning mechanisms for members in the EU are still lackluster.

      When it comes to countries joining the EU, it is easier to scrutinize the adherence to the EU standards.

      I am afraid that Germany will rather blow up the EU than stop its descend into authoritarianism.
