Opposition politician urges Germany to ban concert by pro-Russian rapper

May 17, Pozirk. Pavieł Łatuška of the opposition cabinet has called on the German authorities to take measures against the spread of disinformation in connection with the upcoming concert by a Belarusian pro-government musician.

Belarusian rapper Siarhiej Parchomienka known as Seryoga is expected to perform at a fair in Bad Salzuflen, North Rhine-Westphalia, on May 18 and 19.

The musician supports the Russian war against Ukraine and justifies politically-motivated reprisals in Belarus, Łatuška said in a video posted in the Telegram messenger application.

A group of German MPs who support Belarusian pro-democracy forces have forwarded his appeal to the German interior ministry and local authorities in Bad Salzuflen, he added.
