In Italy wishes to live Eva Kailiwhile leaving spikes for the stand of European Parliament and its president, Roberta Metzolafor the prosecutions in the case Qatargate.
In an interview with the newspaper Corriere Della Sera, the former vice-president of the European Parliament underlined: “It is impossible to run again, the justice has forbidden me to speak to the press.”
“There are still those here who oppose politically motivated trials and demand respect for the presumption of innocence,” he also said.
“I find the omerta of the entire House infuriating in such an unconstitutional limitation of my right to defend myself and to speak about everything that has been artfully leaked and fabricated against me,” Ms. Kaili also said.
“Hoping for a political advantage, President Roberta Metzola and my party S&D, instead of defending the institutions, tried, before the elections, to hide their inability to respect the principles of the Union and to guarantee the freedoms and privileges of the MEPs”, he added.
“A dangerous precedent has been created that allows the judiciary to interfere in politics, irreparably undermining the integrity of the European institution,” said Ms. Kaili, continuing:
“And recently the Belgian government, seeing itself as the guardian of who knows what, thought it had the right to disrupt an event in Brussels organized by the European Conservatives and Reformists.”
“I will focus on technology policy and if things go as I foresee, I see my future in working for women and children who are victims of the failures of the system,” the former vice-president of the European Parliament said, saying that at the end of the term she will probably move to Italy.
She explained about her choice: “It is a country that I consider my homeland for several reasons and because in Italy there is a beautiful word like “garantismo” that should be translated throughout Europe.
In Italy there are certain parties that oppose politically motivated trials and demand respect for the presumption of innocence regardless of the party of the accused.”
“I will always be grateful to the honorable Deborah Bergamini of Forza Italia, the only politician from a party other than mine who challenged these methods and came to see me in my darkest moments, and to Riccardo Nouri of Amnesty International Italy, who dared to compare Belgium to Belarus for the methods used against my daughter. I finally managed to meet her the day after the publication of their article”, said Eva Kaili.
However, according to her, the legal road is still long and she herself has made several appeals.
