How did you connect the linked Wikipedia article to EU courts and ECJ?

This journalist was not sanctioned by the court.

The court approved the sanctions when he tried to challenge them.
I do not think this is true. Do you have any proof? I‘m aware only of German court refusing to apply urgent procedure to unblock his bank accounts. The sanctions were applied not that long ago for him to get decision by German courts or ECJ.

You're right, it's about the injunction.

Can you explain how he is supposed to house and feed a family of 5 on 500€ a month?

Or is this a "he should starve to death" situation?

What right does the EU even have to "sanction" a German citizen? None.

Sounds like something a Russian colluder would say
No, this is a valid point. Court cases are usually playing out slowly amd carefully. So, in order to prevent harm to the parties involved caused by that slowness, injunctions can be issued by the court that can provide reasonable relief from immediate damages from the dispute that can't be compensated for or reversed later. In Germany, getting relief through an injunction really is about proving that lasting damage is caused while the case drags on. The full merrits of the case are explicitly excluded from consideration.
That’s not true. The case is still pending in the CJEU’s General Court.
