It’s kind of nice that there are still conflicts where, in addition to being humanitarian and nuclear serious, you can also say that they’re extremely funny. In a letter, five former presidents of PEN, i.e. the authors’ association that opposes any “kind of suppression of freedom of expression”, urge the current president, Deniz Yücel, to resign from office because, among other things, he is on the Lit. Cologne for declared a no-fly zone and thus in favor of direct military intervention by NATO in the Ukraine war. If you want to be ungracious to the five ex-presidents, it could be summed up like this: “Scandal! President of the Association of Free Words speaks free words!”
