Expense Allowance Abuse by MEPs

Back



Hans-Peter Martin and RTL in the fight against abuse of expense allowances: A Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in Brussels earns approx. 14,700 euros per month (~£11,587), according to this RTL Report (in German with English subtitles). How much the MEPs have to work (or don't work) for their €14,700 is the subject of this on-site RTL investigation in Brussels. The video is about MEPs who sign in on attendance lists and then disappear immediately for their weekend. RTL investigating journalists were thrown out of the EU building in Brussels during their work. Some MEPs try to justify themselves, some to invent excuses, again others flee before the camera and dash off to lifts or also in their confusion bump into the wall (German MEP of the Green Party)! One-man crusader Hans-Peter Martin, MEP from Austria: "A Member of the European Parliament earns on an average more than the German Chancellor Frau Merkel and one wants to hide this from the electorate. Therefore, one obviously must get rid of reporters investigating this."

great video of the common criminals getting caught out, we never get any news like this in Britain from the mainstream media about the corrupt undemocratic EU,they are under instructions from our government to censor the news or spin it if they do report something, the sooner this entity implodes under the weight of it's own bureacracy and corruption the better, the soviet politburo is alive and well in 2008.

This happening while the youth of the continent can afford study or be indipendent not to mention have a family. And then they sell us the lies about the world crisis. This is insulting, and disgusting.

I hate thieves; they are lowest form of life. I can not believe that the Europeans have not taken to the streets and demand these thieving cowards be arrested or at least removed from their positions and pay back every penny they stole. EU & Bush are working hand and hand to destroy the people's freedom; both are the embodiment of Hitler's third Reich.
