From Britain’s ban on Hasan Piker to Germany’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity, Yanis Varoufakis and Hasan Piker discuss censorship, power and resistance.

These days, it seems, you are banned as an anti-Semite if you oppose the Palestinian genocide and the ideology that drives it.

Recalling his own ban from Germany, Yanis Varoufakis examines how dissenting voices are increasingly shut out rather than challenged

🚨 LIVE THIS FRIDAY: Banned for Insufficient Support of Genocide?

First Germany banned Yanis Varoufakis around a pro-Palestine conference in Berlin.

Now the UK has banned Hasan Piker from entering the country, claiming his presence was “not conducive to the public good” — but it’s clearly over his stance on Gaza. He was due to speak at SXSW London and the Oxford Union.

Hasan and Yanis compare notes: liberal governments silencing people over Gaza, a free-speech right that goes quiet when the speech is pro-Palestinian, and what the left does about it.

When opposing a genocide gets you barred at the border, what’s left of “free speech”?

Fox News has targeted DiEM25, Progressive International, David Adler, Hasan Piker and those standing in solidarity with Cuba. But the real story isn't the smear campaign, it is the growing crackdown on those who resist the fledgling Trump regime.

"I say to young people: courage is not bravery; it is habit. Start small. Tell it how you see it over dinner. Disagree with your own side. When you fail—and you will—forgive yourself and try again. The new authoritarianism crumbles when ordinary people risk ridicule more than prison. Ridicule is cheap; democracy is not." — Yanis Varoufakis

It is no coincidence that so many of us feel exhausted, hopeless, disoriented. War, austerity, Big Tech and the rise of fascism are shaping our lives - and leaving many of us burnt out and defeated. But understanding our reality is the first step to fighting it.

The German model of “Staatsräson” must not be allowed to rule Europe. Genocide cannot become our guiding ideology.

We demand a free press.
We demand the rule of law.
We demand an end to genocide.
And we demand accountability for those weaponising EU institutions to crush political dissent.

An international campaign is calling for the immediate lifting of European Union sanctions imposed on Hüseyin Doğru, in what is a grave attack on press freedom and democratic rights. Doğru is the founder of the independent outlet red.media, and someone that DiEM25 has strongly supported in recent...
