As I pointed out, there simply has not been the kind of right stripping you are talking about. Individual rallies have been banned, yes. As have in other contexts. As is rightfully possible. And this does not have anything to do with it being against “ruling elites” or something like that. Your statement re “banning protests” isn’t backed up by hard data. So what’s it going to be? Will you trust the data or a conspiracy stemming from your gut feeling?
There was a general ban in Berlin for like a month that had to be overturned by a court.
Do you have a source for me on this? I didn’t find anything about a general(!) ban in the last 15 months. Individual rallies have been forbidden, not least due to the blatant antisemitism displayed e.g. in Neukölln shortly after the attack by Hamas, or, as approved by court, due to security concerns on special days such as the so called “nakba day”. As stated above, overall, less than 1% of rallies have been banned. I’d be surprised if only 1% of the rallies in that time frame were connected Palestinians.
Since then practically all demonstrations with relation to Palestine have faced police violence, often randomly attacking and arresting people, beating up people in custody, denying medical care to people they have strangled or beaten unconcious. Organizers are targeted on trumped up charges to have their homes raided multiple times and the police regularly shows up at their door threatening them, that they are watching them closely.
Which is a different point than made initially here (banning protests). We already spoke about the aftermath of some of these protests, remember? So I’ll repeat here: there is more to this than the black and white image you try to paint here.
You made a statement that isn’t justified by data and now you move goalposts? Seems like you don’t want facts to get into the way of your opinions. Fine by me.
Less than 1% of rallies have been banned. This rumor/perception does not seem to be true.
Where exactly do you think he’ll go? I doubt it would be good for the EU to have a Russian forward base that far west.
Orban goes where the money is, because Hungary is way to poor to do otherwise. He needs access to the European single market, which is something even Daddy Putin couldn’t replace before he chose to destroy Russia in attacking Ukraine.
Who isn’t on that list?
