It's just a bunch of regulation of law, a model of democracy and game rules... This is surely not a description of the European Parliament, which, in the name of democracy, surrounded by a sanitary cordon of a group considered to be “the utmost right”. Although politicians of the "forbidden faction", according to the rules adopted, belonged to the positions of the chairmen or vice-presidents of the EP committees and subcommittees, they were just "democratic" cut off from them.
On Tuesday in Brussels, EP committees and subcommittees elected their authorities, i.e. presidents and 4 vice-presidents. According to earlier announcements, the centre covered the majority with the alleged sanitary cordon, which was excluded from the anticipation of filling management positions, the alleged utmost right. It is about Euro MPs of 2 fresh factions: the Patriots Group for Europe (PdE) initiated by the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the Europe of Sovereign Nations under the leadership of Alternatives for Germany (AfD).
Thus, the "democratic" MPs of these factions have been effectively excluded erstwhile they fill the seats of the chairmen and vice-presidents of 24 committees and a subcommittee of the Europarliament.
The specified fact that the "extreme right" which is regarded in the EP as "a threat to democracy" is no longer surprising. However, he inactive wonders how far the "real Democrats" are prepared to go. And they have just broken the accepted customized that the division of posts takes place according to the D’Hondt method. It is on its basis and according to the size of a given group that (or, in fact, were) seats in the EP are allocated. In theory, the PdE had 2 commissions, including the transport of TRAN and CULT culture. That's not what happened.
The central majority has cast the positions of the chairmen and vice-presidents of both committees with their candidates. The president of TRAN was the Greek Euro MP of the European People's organization (EPP) Elissawet Wozemberg-Wrionidi, and the vice-presidents will share the positions of the Greens, EPP, Left and Social Democrats (S&D).
Democratic MEPs are evidently arrogant of themselves. "The alleged sanitary cordon has just worked in the transport committee. We refused to lead our committee to the Bardelia Group (French Euro MP Jordan Bardella became president of the PdE-PAP faction). No seats for the far right!” wrote French Euro MP Francois Kalfon (S&D) on the X.
The Committee on Culture (CULT) in turn was Green: German Euro MP Nela Riehl was chaired and the first Vice-President of the Euro MP KO Bogdan Zdrojewski. another Vice-Presidents have been given the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Liberals of Renewal of Europe.
The PdE candidate was besides excluded from applying for the position of 4th Vice-President of the abroad Affairs Committee (AFET); here the German Euro MP David McAllister was appointed president and the 4th Vice-President besides the Euro MP EPP, this time from Romania, Rares Bogdan. another positions were taken by the Social Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives (ECR).
"It is simply a shame for the EPP Group to block the Patriots from applying for the position of 4th deputy chief of AFET, to which we were entitled under EP rules. This is contrary to the regulation of law. They do not respect the principles of Europarliament, democracy, or even their own rules on sex equality. Outrageous!” wrote the Hungarian Euro MP King Gal, Vice-President of the Patriots on platform X.
Neither did the MEPs receive any position in the EP committee bureau. They did not receive a committee in the first switchboard, as the faction was established after the deadline agreed before the EP election, which was 4 July.
It is worth noting that during the beginning session of the EP in Strasbourg, the alleged utmost right fell out of the race for positions in the institution's bureau. After the head of the EP became Maltan female Robert Metsol of the EPP, there were 14 Vice-Presidents and 5 Quaestors to fill. Czeszek Klar Dostalov and Fabrice Leggeri of PdE and Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik of the Confederation, who took part in the European Sovereign Nations faction, then sought the position of vice-presidents of the EP. The Quaestors' seat was unsuccessfully sought by the Hungarian Pal Shekeres of PdE.
