DiEM25 says bank account closed suddenly, freezing funds

DiEM25, the progressive European movement co-founded by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, says its bank account was closed suddenly and without warning on 8 October, cutting the group off from tens of thousands of euros. The movement says it has heard that progressive political organisations are being targeted in a similar way, and supporters are raising concerns about debanking of left-wing groups in Europe.
Why now: Claims that a prominent left-wing movement was debanked have sparked concerns about political organisations losing access to financial services.
