Expense Allowance Abuse by MEPs
Uploaded by: JohninBasel
Video Description:
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."

what about all the poor people in the world ?
Well, those MEPs had a chance to talk! But NOBODY did, only lame excuses and run aways.
By the way, only 15% of ppl can/or have time to read really long and informative news stories with deep and intuative analisis touching all the sides of the story; other 75% needs tabloids, yellow press and not all of them r liers.
Back to story, well i though there is very strick monetary order concerning Brussels, well it seems its not that better than Lithuanian MEPs.
Great vid!
"All in all, the average EU parliamentarian earns more money than the German Chancellor Merkel. This is not in line with their performance and their responsibility. They want to hide this fact from the electorate. This is why they don't like it when one examines things a bit closely"
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.
