Hanna Gedin, kandidat för Vänsterpartiet till EU-parlamentet, skriver debattartikel i danska Alltingets forum den 22 maj. Hon gör det tillsammans med Frederikke Helleman, kandidat till EU-parlamentet för danska Enhetslistan. Artikeln är en uppmaning till regeringarna i Danmark och Sverige att stoppa rysk fartygstrafik i Öresund, detta som en utvidgning av sanktionerna mot Ryssland. De skriver:
”Genom att stoppa olovlig rysk oljeexport genom våra farvatten tar vi ifrån Putin pengar han räknar med att använda till kriget i Ukraina. Därmed skulle vår insats stärka både vår egen och Ukrainas säkerhet. Det måste ändå kallas för ett win-win-scenario.”
Sverige och Danmark har verktyg för att stoppa Putins oljetransporter. Det är därför vårt moraliska och politiska ansvar att agera. Det skriver Frederikke Hellemann [enhetslistan]och Hanna Gedin [vp], dansk respektive svensk kandidat till EU-valet, som uppmanar regeringarna att omgående tillsätta en gemensam arbetsgrupp för att stoppa den ryska skuggflottan.

In den USA ist ein «Agentengesetz» schon lange in Kraft. Das Gesetz über ausländische Agentenregistrierung (Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA) schreibt eine Meldepflicht vor. Wenn eine Organisation als «ausländische Agentin» im Sinne von FARA betrachtet wird, muss sie sich registrieren lassen und regelmässige Berichte über ihre Aktivitäten und Finanzierungen vorlegen. Dies dient der Transparenz und der Vermeidung von unlauteren Einflussnahmen aus dem Ausland.
