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

@lontrachen Well if heโ€™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 itโ€™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 letโ€™s see but I find it highly unlikely. Yanis is macho and stubborn but, in my experience, at least, I havenโ€™t known him to lie.

@aral 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 didnโ€™t hear anything about this case with Varoufakis.

I totally agree with the criticism on the German approach to this whole thing but I canโ€™t have sympathy for him ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@lontrachen @aral

What of Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah the rector of Glasgow University, when he was deported, attempting to attend the event, was told he could be charged with the potential of a custodial sentence if he attempted to speak remotely.

Hasko, you seem to have some issue with Varoufakis?
