A new bill could block property purchases, including for homebuyers, if the potential buyer is suspected of “anti-constitutional activities” — even without any criminal conviction.

The new dystopian bill, pushed by Construction Minister Verena Hubertz of the far- ~~left~~ right Social Democrats (SPD), could mean those who hold the wrong political views are blocked from real estate purchases.

Terror attacks, or liberation movements such as calling out genocide and organizing to disrupt funding etc?

The far right likes to call that "terrorism" too.

Yeah the idea is that they'll claim it's not because of your speech or pro human values, but because you're secretly affiliated with Russia or terrorists or some other nonsense

That's the sell but they'll use it 100% against opponents of Israel. Look at how they sanctioned German journalist Husein Dogru for covering Gaza

Germany is the absolute worst in its handling of the genocide. Actively punishing those calling it out.
