Eva Kaili expressed her intention to move to Italy after the end of her term in the European Parliament, speaking to Corriere Dela Serra.
“I will come to live in Italy, a country of guarantee. The EU and my party did not defend me” said Eva Kaili, and added:
“I find the silence of the entire European Parliament outrageous for such an unconstitutional restriction of my right to defend myself and to speak about all that has been leaked and artfully plotted against me. Hoping for a political advantage, President Roberta Metzola and my S&D party 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 Members. A dangerous precedent has been set that allows the judiciary to meddle in politics, irreparably undermining the integrity of the European institution.”

Eva Kaili was asked: “Are there no conditions for your candidacy?” and gave the following answer:
“I had hoped that EU citizens could see the truth before they voted in June, but being banned from speaking about this case makes it impossible for me to even stand.”
Eva Kaili: I will move to Italy
“I will focus on technology policy and, if things go as I expect, I see my future in my commitment to women and children who are victims of system failures,” she said.

When asked if at the end of the term he will remain in Belgium or return to Greece, he said:
“I’ll probably move to Italy.”
The newspaper asked her if she plans to move to Italy “because your partner is Italian?” and Eva Kaili answered:
“Because it is a country that I consider home for various reasons and because in Italy there is a beautiful word, like “guarantee”, which 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.”
