[German Justice Minister Proposes Assessing the Possibility of Banning the AfD]
On May 22nd, German Justice Minister Steffi Huberich stated that it was necessary to seriously consider banning the far-right party "Alternative for Germany" (AfD), pointing out that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had already classified the party as a "clearly right-wing extremist organization". Huberich emphasized that although the constitution requires meeting the standard of "purposely attacking constitutional values", current assessments indicate that the AfD may pose a threat to democracy. Party co-chairpersons Weidel and Krüpela previously criticized the relevant investigation as a "serious blow to German democracy".
The EU has included German war correspondent Alina Lippe and blogger Thomas Reppel on the "Hybrid Actions Blacklist", accusing them of "serving Russian interests". This sanction is synchronized with the 17th round of sanctions against Russia. It is reported that this round of sanctions also involves nearly 200 oil tankers. Meanwhile, the UK imposed restrictions on Russia's deposit insurance institution and 18 ships at the same time.
