Nobody talking about the credibility of the nation offering the money? That’s all okay?
She’s right though. It’s essential that very clear lines are drawn and severe consequences are shown to discourage this ever happening again.
The stereotype politician is untrustworthy, greedily self serving and corrupt – most if not all EU nations have at least 10-15% of their own populations actively demagoging against their own governments, let alone any real trust for anyone in EU parliament. This is just more ‘food’ for them and ‘proof’ of what they are saying.
The EU as a whole must continually actively prove themselves to the greater EU population and if these transgressions to go unpunished or ‘softly’ punished/ have mild consequences will feed both the ‘class wars perception’ i.e. richer get richer and are always free of consequences) and reinforce the idea that it’s all just ‘fun and games’ for politicians.
Compare and contrast the engagement of this story with your daily guardian article about Brexit and the ~~British~~ English eating their pets.
Well well well… And EU was complaining of Romania being corrupt 🤣. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Having a negative reaction to this just proves I’m right.
