🇪🇺In Brüssel schwingt man gerne große Reden über Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Doch zur politischen Verfolgung der AfD in Deutschland hört man nichts. Während Oppositionsparteien in ganz Europa unter Druck geraten, fragt man sich, wo eigentlich der Einsatz der EU für echte Demokratie bleibt. Denn wer die AfD verbieten will, hat die Demokratie längst aufgegeben. Ich habe den zuständigen EU-Kommissar dazu befragt.

The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop.
