  • I can just as well write:

    Considering they’re being held in Hungary, ruled by a protofascist illeberal regime, for antifascist activity, their politics are almost certainly linked to their poor treatment.

    The two are obviously obviously linked of course, I mean I am not trying to split hairs here. They are being mistreated for being a non-binary antifascist, the two are indivisible in their case. What I’m actually saying is that I would hope that in Germany the more universalist issue of treating all prisoners with dignity would weigh the most.

    edit: I stand corrected, see below.


  • Maja T. regularly complained about inadequate hygiene conditions, poor food, extreme temperatures in winter and summer as well as poor lighting and ventilation in the cell, among other things. They were continuously held in isolation and in summer 2025 attempted unsuccessfully to force better prison conditions by going on a 40-day hunger strike.

    And instead it’s their gender identity that the German courts are focusing on when it comes to extradition and human rights? SMH.

  • One big stumbling block is the relationship with Turkey. Is the EU ready to defend Greece and Cyprus the way everyone is talking about defending the Baltics and other Eastern flank countries from Russia?

    If not, Greece and Cyprus will just keep going down the existing path of cooperation with Israel, the UAE, and the USA, hoping to counterbalance Erdogan’s aggression. This is a serious weak spot in any kind of European move for strategic independence.

    Turkish adventurism is a ticking time bomb in the security architecture of Europe and nobody wants to talk or do anything about it except France.
