Strasbourg Left Slugs Target ‘Fake’ Political Parties – AKA Patriots!
Additional restrictions on creating European political groups are being formulated – to prevent the abuse of public funding and wider influence in EU lawmaking.
The move is being spearheaded by Jo Leinen, a German socialist MEP, who says so-called ‘fake political groups’ in the European Parliament are abusing parliamentary privileges to secure funding and influence.

To check what this was all about, I went to Portugal – not literally (it’s cold there this month) but to a major Lisbon newspaper.
And Europhiliac Leinen’s true, vicious objective was made very clear.
Diario de Noticias is no friend to us freedom-fighters but it does give a helpful rundown on what power MEPs enjoy by membership in a parliamentary group.
– “to exercise the legislative initiative, to participate in parliamentary committees according to the number of its members”. The extensive list also highlights “the right to set the agenda for a number of plenary meetings.” https://www.dn.pt/mundo/interior/fake-groups-de-populistas-na-mira-do-parlamento-europeu-10485650.html
Basically, everything that’s essential to getting things done!
And if there’s no group muscle to rely on?
These are powers such as those which Mr Jo Leinen does not want to see in the hands of “Eurosceptics or even anti-Europeans,” who also receive “high” sums, to keep the political group running, with staff, facilities and material.

For God’s sake – how blatant can it get? Stop patriot parties working together, slash their funding, deny them staff support?

Deliberate Europhiliac witch-hunting – making any and every patriot party in Europe that seeks to challenge the EUSSR a target for destruction!
The wannabe jackboot German red is also determined that both National and European party affiliation would always be visible –a European flag next to a national party logo. https://www.euractiv.com/section/eu-priorities-2020/interview/leinen-parliament-mulls-first-steps-to-reform-eu-elections-before-2019/

It would help raising awareness, making it clear that it’s NOT a national election for national parties, but PEOPLE VOTE FOR THE IDEAS OF EUROPEAN POLITICAL PARTIES.
Those are my capital letters, inserted to focus your attention on the sheer sly evil that this leftist Leinen louse represents, not a shred of conscience about using what is presented as a democratic election as a means of undermining voters’ allegiance to their own countries.

My God.
And this Leinen is not some Raving Loony Party loner but on the contrary he is a major player and there is every chance he will get this handbook of dirty tricks approved.
Why he has chosen this moment to let the authoritarian cat out of the bag is perplexing.
In my opinion he fears a big swing to patriot parties in the MEP elections in a few months and wants to halt or at least obstruct their chances of reforming his sluggery.

I can hardly believe these leftists are so bare-faced about fixing the rules to do our side down.
What’s more, I am horrified that there has been no uproar in the media about this scheme.
I am sending this around all my contacts and try to whip up protests.
It has to be stopped.

The so-called ‘European Project’ unmasked. If the people elect MEPs who are not going to help the ‘Project’ along, change the parliamentary rules to hobble them.
And reorganise the elections to influence voters, especially young voters, into viewing the issues from a ‘Europe’ angle rather than what is good for their own country.
What this means that if you are not Europhile,you are a second-class citizen,in Leiner’s view.
