In our previous statement[1], we spoke of a shameful incident during a meeting of the Board of the Pirate Parties International (PPI) that was staged by two delegates of the German Pirate Party (Piratenpartei Deutschland – PPDE) and the Russian Pirate Party’s delegate (PPRU) against then PPI chairwoman Ms. Florie Marie.
Back then, we wrote that we believe this dirty war against Ms. Marie could not have been waged without the PPDE’s leadership knowing about it. The fact that the two PPDE “mutineers” remained in the party and, when the “undesirable” Ms. Marie resigned from the PPI and left the Pirate Movement altogether, they were upgraded in the next PPI Board is solid proof. They were rewarded for their little “putsch”: Sebastian “Bastian” Krone became PPI treasurer, while Utz became a regular member[2]. We also wrote that this is highly suspect and stand by our position. Unfortunately, it seems that behaviors like these are not a new phenomenon.
In the minutes of the meeting of the Board of the Pirate Parties International (PPI) that was held on 24-5-2023 we see an attempted “coup” against its then chairwoman, Florie Marie, by a group of Board members[1]. The “stars” of this “coup” were regular member Alexander Isavnin (Pirate Party Russia – PPRU) and, from the Pirate Party Germany (Piratenpartei – PPDE), Mia Utz (alternate member at the time) and Sebastian “Bastian” Krone. Krone was upgraded to PPI treasurer, while Utz became a regular member of the Board[2].
On the 23th and 24th of November 2024, the 17th Council of the European Pirate Party (PPEU) was organized in Prague. The collective that expresses and unites the glorious Pirate Movement, focusing on what really matters, decided to denounce the video game industry for its serial violation of Directives 93/13/EEC and 2011/83/EU: they abuse their position in their relationship with gamers by depriving them of access to the games they have bought, when they decide to stop supporting these games.
Πριν ακόμα από τις καταστροφικές για το Πειρατικό Κίνημα φετινές ευρωεκλογές διαβάζαμε στη Flaschenpost, την επίσημη ενημερωτική σελίδα του Κόμματος Πειρατών Γερμανίας (Piratenpartei Deutschland – PPDE), τις «αναλύσεις» του Politburo του κόμματος για διάφορα θέματα. Από τη γενοκτονία που διαπράττει το Ισραηλινό Απαρτχάιντ στη Γάζα (η οποία δεν υφίσταται για το PPDE, όπως δεν υφίστανται και οι διεθνείς οργανισμοί που την καταγγέλλουν, όταν δηλαδή τα στελέχη του δεν τους συκοφαντούν ως «ενεργούμενα της Χαμάς» και «φορείς υποστήριξης της τρομοκρατίας») μέχρι το «τις πταίει;» για τη συντριπτική αποτυχία τους, αλλά και του Ευρωπαϊκού Κόμματος Πειρατών (European Pirate Party – PPEU) στις Ευρωεκλογές. Κάθε άρθρο των στελεχών του PPDE διέλυε όλο και περισσότερο τις απορίες μας γι’ αυτή την συντριπτική κι ατιμωτική ήττα. Με τέτοιο στελεχιακό δυναμικό και με τέτοιες «φταίνε όλοι εκτός από μας» τοποθετήσεις, πάλι καλά να λένε που πήραν ακόμα κι αυτό το 0,50%.
