Spontaneous amnesia surrounded the hypocritical, Hungarian-hating politician several times. Manfred Weber blames Hungarians and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for what he actually owes to himself and his greed, reports v4na.com.
Manfred Weber, the skilled Bavarian, is on a revenge campaign
To this day, the Hungarian-hating Manfred Weber, the leader of the German faction of the European People's Party (EPP), has not been able to digest the fact that he has slipped from the position of president of the European Commission. As is well known, in 2019 Weber also tried his hand in the fight for the chair of the committee, but he failed in the great effort in the European Council, which brings together heads of government and state, and in the European Parliament. Although many politicians and parties opposed the victory of the top candidate, Manfred Weber still wants to take revenge on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at all costs. And more recently, he would also regulate the Hungarian people, at least that is indicated by the fact that he addressed the European Parliament President Roberta Metsola in a letter. The faction leader of the People's Party called on Metsola that the European Parliament somehow tries to prevent the payment of the EU funds released to the Hungarians in December, which was approved by the European Commission.
"We are no longer convinced by the European Commission's reasoning and we call on it to request an evaluation of the decision by the European Parliament's Committee on Budgetary Control and other competent services"
- said Manfred Weber, who would take revenge on Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian people for his ugly failure. However, so many people slammed the door on the Bavarian politician for a good reason, and it is also possible that Weber has already forgotten the embarrassing way in which he abused legal loopholes.
Manfred Weber interpreted the home office in a special way
Our news agency uncovered the scheming politician after a long investigation. At that time, the representatives of the European Parliament received 4,332 euros per month, i.e. approximately HUF 1,400,000, as general reimbursement, according to the guidelines, primarily for the maintenance of an official office. They didn't have to settle, they weren't asked for invoices, Weber saw the great opportunity in this loophole. The scheming People's Party politician designated his own family home as his party office so that he could keep this amount.
His house stood in a small village in Lower Bavaria, in Wildenberg, behind God's back, where he lived in a lifestyle. In this building, he rechristened the ground floor part as an office, obviously so that he could pocket the money he should have spent on office rent. The fact that this village is also far from the big cities, so it is not easy for voters to visit their beloved representative, did not matter.
V4NA journalists saw it with their own eyes in Wildenberg, Weber didn't even bother to post on the gate that this is his representative's office.
Taking the calculator, we can easily calculate how much that is: starting in 2004, i.e. in 180 months, - if we count only half of the 4,332 euros saved as rental costs, - converted to HUF, he managed to pocket almost 125 million. In addition, he could even pay the entire utilities of the family home from this amount. Invoices were not requested in Brussels at that time either. Weber is not petty, he knows exactly that European taxpayers' money is in the best place in his pocket.
he told the German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine that
it is necessary to create a way to reduce the pension rights of corrupt parliamentarians if there is a confirmed breach of duty.
What's more, the European People's Party itself may be involved in the Brussels corruption scandal, which is the biggest scandal in the history of the European Parliament and which shook the trust in EU institutions to its foundations.
