EU: Shamelessly tramples on freedom of speech

It would be nice to see some objective information of what even happened there. There is next to no information in the image above, other than some German account closure by Germany due to § 3 Abs. Sanktionsdurchführungsgesetz.
Surely there is more information in that official paper than just that first page.
I couldn't tell you what his wife did to be sanctioned so there's not much info on that besides the tweet.
On the journalist himself there's this article showing how the EU along with Zionist ran German media sanctioned him for spreading "Hamas propaganda".
EU sanctions German journalist in shocking first over Gaza reporting
NAZI GERMANY, you mean.
Which isn't exactly surprising,
Sadly this is EU wide sanctions. The entire EU apparatus has come together to sanction people who speak up against genocide.
That said, the campaign against the journalist was very much done by Zionist propaganda outlets and politicians in Nazi Germany in a coordinated Nazi blood libel campaign.
Haven't seen a single instance of that which you describe in Portugal, were I live, and the country is currently ruled by the mainstream rightwing party which is basically the party formed by ex-Fascists after the Revolution in 74 which overthrew the Fascist Dictatorship and are definitelly pro-Israel (though most of the population is not, possibly because only a small part of the Press pushes pro-American Propaganda)
It would be a massive scandal around here if they tried to do shit like that - plenty of people who lived under Fascism are still alive and remember the censorship and state police.
Next door Spain too, isn't doing that kind of shit as far as I know, mainly because the government there is center-left (if it was the "center"-right party, I bet they would try it, since they seem to be closer to their Fascist roots than the one in Portugal).
Also haven't heard anything like that from The Netherlands (were I used to live).
Absolutelly, there are several of countries in Europe doing that kind of shit, most notably Germany and Britain, but as far as I can tell they're a minority rather than a majority.
Whilst I don't doubt the likes of Germany (and their agent who heads the EU Commission) would push for that kind of shit at an EU level (and plenty of country would give it lip service given Germany's importance in the EU), A LOT of countries in Europe have societies which are against that censorship because of their values (Scandinavia, The Netherlands) or because they've lived under Fascism not that long ago and many people react badly against anything with a wiff of secret police and censorship (Portugal, Spain, probably Greece).
Also the EU Parliament is properly independent and, being way more representative than the EU Comission (thanks to actually being elected, via Proportional Vote no less) shies away from actual repressive measures like that - vaguelly worded condemning motions, sure, actually censoring people, not really.
I can give you this one off the top of my head, and there's probably many more. There is plenty of EU wide repression against the voices of Palestinians but they barely get any media attention.
Netherlands to expel Palestinian journalist, raising fears of handover to Israelis

When they can take money from the weakest they do it. When Papa Netanjahu does something illegal (literal genocide and blocking humanitarian aid) they stay silent.
Doing their best to imitate their real masters. Imagine ANY of this being done to fight the very real fascism in their countries. EU Politicians might talk a big game but actions speak for themselves.
Look how they caved in and licking boots of the Trump. The greens who voted against MERCOSUR deal fully supported the US deal. They are more like green washing party than green party and then we have genocide cheer leader Annalena. Nazi just like her grand parents.
Pro tip: banning all discourse does not make your post better.
Actually, banning all neonazis does make a post better
Nazi propaganda isn't discourse. You don't get to lie to justify starvation of children and genocide. Ironic coming from feddit.org
*Germany
The EU sanctioned him
