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

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