EU fight against terrorism: one group and two individuals added to the EU sanctions list

 

Press material Monday 30 May 2022   ● Council of the EU   30/05/2022 15:36 | Press release | EU fight against terrorism: one group and two individuals added to the EU sanctions list   The Council today decided to add one group and two persons to the list of those subject to restrictive measures against ISIL/Da'esh and Al-Qaeda and persons, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them. The measures target Hurras al-Din, a Syria-based al-Qaeda affiliated group, its leader Faruq al-Suri, and its religious leader Sami al-Aridi. Hurras al-Din operates in the name and under the umbrella of Al-Qaeda, and has been involved in the planning of external terrorist operations. To achieve its objectives, the group has established operational camps in Syria that provide terrorist training to its members. Several European foreign terrorist fighters have joined the group’s ranks since its creation. Through propaganda activities, the sanctioned group and individuals have also played a key role in promoting Al-Qaeda's violent jihadist ideology and in inciting terrorist acts in support of Al-Qaeda. Hurras al-Din and its two leaders therefore pose a serious and continued threat to the EU and to regional and international stability. With these new measures, a total of ten persons will now be subject to a travel ban and an asset freeze, and three groups to an asset freeze. In addition, EU persons and entities will be forbidden from making funds or economic resources available to listed persons and groups. Today's decision confirms the EU’s unwavering resolve to combat the enduring terrorist threat posed by Al-Qaeda, ISIL/Da’esh, and all their regional affiliates. The EU remains committed to taking decisive action against those who continue to threaten international peace and security by planning, financing and committing terrorist attacks, and by spreading their deadly terrorist propaganda around the world.

Today, we Remember and Honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Annually, AHEPA’s Supreme President lays a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Also, AHEPA family members from the Washington, D.C. metro area gather to memorialize those who are identified as Greek Americans or Greek Orthodox who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, a figure that totals more than 600 gravesites. Thank you to everyone who has taken time to remember our nation's fallen heroes. How does your chapter or district honor those we've lost on Memorial Day? Let us know by emailing ahepa@ahepa.org and telling us what you've done! God bless those who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice for Freedom. Remember & Honor. God Bless America.

"Νέα Δημοκρατία" ανακοίνωση..

 

Αθήνα, 30 Μαΐου 2022     Από το Γραφείο Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας εκδόθηκε η ακόλουθη ανακοίνωση:   «Ο κ. Ανδρουλάκης, αντί να ακολουθεί τον μηδενιστικό αντιπολιτευτικό λόγο του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ,  καταγγέλλοντας την κυβέρνηση ότι ανέχεται την κερδοσκοπία κι ότι ακολουθεί πολιτική Πόντιου Πιλάτου, καλό είναι να εξηγήσει στους πολίτες γιατί το κόμμα του ψήφισε “παρών” στην φορολόγηση του 90% των υπερεσόδων, των εταιρειών ενέργειας, που είναι μακράν ο υψηλότερος φόρος τέτοιου είδους στην Ευρώπη. Αν η επιλογή του “παρών”,  δεν είναι ο ορισμός της τακτικής του Πόντιου Πιλάτου, τότε τι είναι; Ο κ. Ανδρουλάκης αντί να προσπαθεί συνεχώς να πατάει σε δύο βάρκες, οφείλει να παίρνει καθαρή θέση».

The Secretary and Foreign Minister Colonna agreed on the importance of continuing steadfast support to Ukraine and maintaining significant costs to President Putin for his war of choice. They discussed steps the United States and France could take together to support EU accession paths for countries that qualify for membership. They touched upon the NATO Alliance, including how best to support Finland and Sweden’s bids to join NATO and key issues ahead of the Madrid summit. Both agreed on the need to respond to the urgent food security and nutrition needs of millions of people in vulnerable situations around the world, which have been exacerbated by Russia’s continued brutal war in Ukraine. They also discussed the importance of moving forward on the global minimum tax to end the race to the bottom on corporate taxes and lay the groundwork for increased investment and growth.
