She expressed her intention to move and live permanently in Italy, the complaint that neither her party nor the EU supported her, but also her criticisms of Roberta Mezzola in an interview with the Italian Corriere Della Serathe Eva Kaili,
Eva Kaili, like the others involved, will not be a candidate for the June European elections. Technically nothing would stop her, but the Investigator has banned her from speaking publicly about the investigation, so she can’t explain and cast shadows about Qatargate.
On the sidelines of the work in Strasbourg, Eva Kaili spoke to Corriere Della Sera. saying initially: “I find the silence of the entire European Parliament outrageous on such an unconstitutional restriction of my right to defend myself and speak about all that has been leaked and is being artfully plotted against me.”
The reason she can’t be a candidate
He then emphasized: “The president Roberta Metzola and my party S&D, instead of defending the institutions, tried, in the run-up to the elections, to hide their inability to respect the principles of the Union and to safeguard the freedoms and privileges of MPs. A dangerous precedent has been set that allows the judiciary to interfere in politics, irreparably undermining the integrity of the European institution. 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 European conservatives and reformers.”
Eva Kaili can be a candidate again in the European elections, however since she is forbidden to speak publicly about her case, she cannot explain her side to her voters: “I was hoping that EU citizens could see the truth before they vote in June, but being banned from speaking about this case makes it impossible for me to even stand” he explains.
So “I’m going to focus on technology policy, and if things go as I hope, I see my future working on behalf of women and children who are victims of system failures.”
In Italy there is a word “guarantee”
When asked whether he will remain in Belgium or return to Greece, he surprised the journalist Giuseppe Guastellasaying: “I’ll probably move to Italy“. To the point “because your partner is Italian?”, Eva Kaili replied: “Because it is a country that I consider home for various reasons and because in Italy there is a beautiful word like “guarantee” that should be translated throughout Europe. In Italy there are some parties that oppose politically motivated trials and demand respect for the presumption of innocence regardless of the party of the accused”.
For judicial way which is particularly long, the former vice-president of the European Parliament replied: “In various higher courts: In Belgium for violations of the rights of parliamentarians and for my unjustified arrest and the bias of the Investigator. Another appeal concerns the ban on speaking to the press, which is a fundamental freedom, and then I am suing the European Parliament for violating my right to be heard and to defend myself as I requested a year ago.
I also started process on United Nations for violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child as the Belgian authorities forcibly separated me from my two-year-old daughter. Something I don’t wish on any mother. A phrase by the Greek poet Dinos Christianopoulos often comes to mind: “They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds”.
