Is THIS democracy? Martin Schulz plots EU takeover by putting FIVE Germans in charge
GERMANY has been accused of orchestrating a takeover of the EU by taking control of five key roles.
Worried Eurocrats have warned politicians now “need to be German and a socialist” to gain a position of power within the organisation - which has also been described as an “insult to diversity.”
The concerns were raised after the German president of the European Parliament Martin Schulz announced his desire for longtime aide and fellow German Markus Winkler to become deputy secretary general.
He is also proposing Monika Strasser as the next director for budgetary affairs and and wants to parachute several other Germans into the Parliament’s administration.
This comes at a time when Klaus Welle is already the institution’s top civil servant, while the European People’s Party, which is the parliament’s biggest group, is run by Manfred Weber.
The planned influx of Germans to the Parliament’s most important positions has startled Eurocrats, including Philippe Lamberts, the Belgian president of the European Green party.
He said: “It is now a general trend in the Parliament that to earn Schulz’s favour, you need to be German and a Socialist. It is an insult to diversity.”
Critics say Schultz is attempting to surround himself with allies, meaning even when he finishes his term as president he will be able to influence the parliament.
One source said: “At least, even if he goes back to Germany, he could still rely on allies at the Parliament.”
Another said: “This has never been seen before. Even at the Commission, this would make people speechless.”
Schultz, however, rejected claims he was attempting to fill the Parliament with German politicians.
His spokesperson said: “Those posts will be published and are open procedures to which anybody can apply who fulfills the necessary requirements such as work experience.
“No other post, be it director generals or deputy secretary generals, were discussed or decided.”

“No other post, be it director generals or deputy secretary generals, were discussed or decided.”

Does wherever you get that from mention that Germany currently only fields 10 DG/DDG, when by population parity it should have a right to 14 posts? Will be interesting when Britain's 7 posts get redistributed too btw.

Btw, over here we elect our parliamentary representatives for the EU parliament.
