Finally! My team and I already worked hard on that during my time as Political Director and prepared concrete decisions in this regard. Pity that it took so long (and so much more bloodshed) to convince others. Good that we now got to yes.
The EU lists the #IRGC as what they are: a terrorist organisation. This decision sends a strong political signal to #Iran. We stand with the Iranian people. We stand for humanity - and against oppression. @aussenminister.diplo.de

Jan 27, 1945, Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army and the inconceivable extent of the Nazi atrocities perpetrated came to light. We remember the murdered Jews, Sinti & Roma, political prisoners, disabled individuals, homosexuals and many others. #WeRemember

We do not accept espionage in #Germany – and particularly not under the cover of diplomatic status. We summoned the Russian Ambassador to the Federal Foreign Office today and informed him that the individual who spied on behalf of #Russia is to be expelled. @aussenminister.diplo.de
