So it turns out Yanis isn’t banned from Germany and it was just a lie told by the German police to stop him from speaking at the event?

or maybe he wanted to make a case out of it? Because he loves to do it

@lontrachen Well if he’s lying, it would be trivial for the German police/government to refute it. There were people recording at the event with their phones so it’s also possible the exchange was caught on video and it would probably also get the two lawyers stated as witnesses disbarred if they willingly perpetuated a lie. So let’s see but I find it highly unlikely. Yanis is macho and stubborn but, in my experience, at least, I haven’t known him to lie.

maybe someone said something wrong at some of the press briefings somewhere and varoufakis just got mad like he loves to do, who knows?

I heard report of this event, one Palestinian politician who is banned from political events in Germany spoke there, but I didn’t hear anything about this case with Varoufakis.

I totally agree with the criticism on the German approach to this whole thing but I can’t have sympathy for him 😬

There’s nothing to suggest that Varoufakis said anything other than was told to him. So, either the police lied, the Ministry of the Interior lied, or they both did.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Varoufakis openly supported Hamas in his speech. I hope he gets arrested should he ever travel to Germany. Neither we nor the Palestinian cause need terror supporters.

Varoufakis was banned.

Second German media source, the business paper Handelsblatt, timestamped today 14 April, 14.04.2024 - 15:09, independent from original TAZ report.

Handelsblatt reports several people, including Varoufakis were banned from entering Germany according to "security service sources" (mehrere Einreiseverbote verhängt worden, darunter auch eines gegen Varoufakis“, erfuhr das Handelsblatt aus Sicherheitskreisen.)

...or perhaps the German authorities are shit scared at the scale of outrage about them covering up the Gaza Genocide ?
