DiEM25 says its bank account has been frozen
Original: # DiEM25 has had it's bank account frozen by whatever bank it's been dealing with. "De-banking" dissidents and dissident
DiEM25, the European movement co-founded by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, says its bank account has been frozen and has launched an appeal for donations. Supporters frame the move as part of a wider pattern of "de-banking" of dissident political organisations in the EU. No bank has been named and no independent confirmation of the freeze is available.
Why now: Claims of political organisations being cut off from banking services are a flashpoint in EU debates over financial repression and freedom of association.
