Reversing Europe’s and Australia’s slide into irrelevance & insecurity – National Press Club of Australia speech
, 14/03/2024
“Europe and Australia are facing a common existential threat: a creeping irrelevance caused, on the one hand, by our failure properly to invest and, on the other hand, by our ill-considered slide from a strategic dependence on the United States to a non-strategic, self-defeating servility to Washington’s policy agenda.” Yanis Varoufakis’s address at the National […]
By continuing the persecution of Julian Assange, Biden jetissons the 1st Amendment – The Nation
, 11/12/2023
In early 2024, a new, grim chapter may be written in the annals of journalistic history. Julian Assange, the publisher of Wikileaks, could board a plane for extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges for the crime of publishing newsworthy information. The persecution of Assange is […]

Julian’s extradition marks a Dark Day for British Justice
, 10/12/2021
With its decision to extradite Julian Assange to the United States, Britain’s High Court wasted a precious opportunity to save what is left of the honour of Britain’s courts after so many years of their complicity in the slow murder of a man whose only crime was to reveal our governments’ crimes against humanity. From […]
Μελανή μέρα για την Βρετανική Δικαιοσύνη
, 10/12/2021
Με την απόφασή του υπέρ της έκδοσης του Τζούλιαν Ασανζ στις ΗΠΑ, το Ανώτατο Δικαστηρίο της Βρετανίας έχασε μοναδική ευκαιρία να διασώσει την τιμή και την υπόληψη της Βρετανικής δικαιοσύνης μετά από τόσα χρόνια συνενοχής της στην προσπάθεια εξόντωσης, δολοφονίας ουσιαστικά, ενός ανθρώπου του οποίου το μόνο «έγκλημα» ήταν να μας διαφωτίσει για τα εγκλήματα […]

As part of the international mobilisation to apply pressure on the US government to end the persecution of Julian Assange, MeRA25 invited members of Greece’s Parliament to co-sign the letter below, addressed to President Biden. The letter reminds the US President that, as Obama’s Vice-President, he took the decision not to prosecute Julian. Indeed, the […]
Ποιός φοβάται τον Τζούλιαν Ασάνζ; Κε Μπάιντεν, γιατί επιμένετε στον αργό του θάνατο;
, 03/07/2021
Ο καλός μου φίλος Τζούλιαν συνεχίζει να σιγοπεθαίνει στο κελί του στα βάθη του Βρετανικού Γκουαντάναμο, θύμα αδίστακτων Δυτικών κυβερνώντων αποφασισμένων να ρουφήξουν λίγο-λίγο την ζωή μέσα από το κορμί του έτσι ώστε να αποτρέψουν άλλες και άλλους από το να αποκαλύψουν άβολες για την ολιγαρχία αλήθειες. To DiEM25-MέΡΑ25, κίνημα του οποίου ο Τζούλιαν είναι […]
Who is afraid of Julian Assange? Why are they so determined to suck the life slowly out of his body?
, 03/07/2021
My dear friend Julian continues to waste away in Britain’ Guantanamo, the victim of ruthless Western governments determined to suck his life slowly from his body as a cautionary tale to anyone who dares expose inconvenient truths. DiEM25, the movement that Julian co-founded, is moving heaven and earth to stop them. Today, Saturday 3rd July, […]

Christmas Day message to Julian: A hard day to mark while you are locked up in Britain’s Guantanamo
, 25/12/2020
I am Yanis Varoufakis with a message for my dear friend Julian Assange, for his father John Shipton, his partner Stella Morris, for their two young kids, for everyone who, on this day, Christmas Day 2020, cannot celebrate while Julian is locked up in Britain’s Guantanamo while US operatives convicted for war crimes by US […]

It is time to prosecute Julian’s persecutors – The Belmarsh Tribunal
, 04/10/2020
This is the time to change tack. We have spent too long defending an innocent man for leaking power’s guilty secrets. We have protested too long against their right to destroy Julian’s body so as to silence his voice. We have pleaded for too long for them to stop torturing a man who dared reveal to […]
Julian Assange just called. To talk about the pandemic’s effect on capitalism & politics!
, 13/06/2020
Julian called me a little earlier on, at 14.22 London time to be precise. From Belmarsh High Security Prison of course. This is not the first time but, as you can imagine, every time I hear his voice I feel honoured and moved that he should dial my number when he has such few and […]

In conversation with Roger Waters, on DiEM-TV’s ANOTHER NOW – Ep.2, 20 APR 2020
, 21/04/2020
Welcome to DiEM-TV’s ANOTHER NOW. The program that owes its existence to a mindless virus that placed capitalism in suspended animation, something not even WW2 managed to do. The one-hour discussion every Monday where, together with a weird and wonderful guest, we rant and rave with one ambition in our souls: To prevent a return […]
Last night Julian Assange called me. Here is what we talked about
, 24/03/2020
Last night, immediately after our first DiEM25 TV event, my phone rang. It was Julian. From prison. It was not that first time that he honoured me deeply by using the few phone calls prison allows him to make to call me. Like every other such occasion, when I unexpectedly recognise his voice a torrent […]

First they came for Assange…
, 17/04/2019
So, here is an idea: Let us join forces to block Assange’s extradition from any European country to the US, so that he can travel to Stockholm and give his accusers an opportunity to be heard. Let us work together to empower women, while protecting whistle-blowers who reveal nefarious behavior that governments, armies, and corporations […]
