@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.

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? |
@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 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 😬
