> that the EU has to illegally ban opposition parties and candidates from elections in member states

did you just make this up?

Germany tried to ban AfD. Romania _canceled an election_ entirely, and then also banned the winning candidate.

You said "the EU". Are you aware of the difference between the EU and national governments?

> Germany tried to ban AfD

I wish we did, but we didn't.

Are you aware that the EU largely dictates what the national governments do?

How ?
