Eleven MEPs, including six French, are in the crosshairs of the Parliament, which accuses it of "false electoral observation missions", reported the European media
EuObserver
.
Election observation missions in non-European countries are one of the activities of MEPs.
The European Union considers that they make it possible to assess and guarantee the regularity of the ballot.
For five of them, Virginie Joron, Hervé Juvin, Jean-Lin Lacapelle, Thierry Mariani, and Philippe Olivier, all from the RN, Parliament criticizes them for complacent observations in Crimea, a Ukrainian region annexed by Russia, and in Kazakhstan .
The three other sanctioned MEPs, two Irish and one Spanish, come from the ranks of the left alliance group and have gone to “observe” the elections in Ecuador and Vénuezela.
These eight deputies are banned by their Parliament from observations until the end of the year, continues
EuObserver,
which relies on the work of the NGO European Platform for Democratic Elections.
Asked by
Le Figaro
on this subject, Thierry Mariani, former candidate of the RN for regional in Paca, denounced "an increasingly totalitarian institution", speaking of the European Parliament.
Three other MEPs have received warnings.
Among which the French Leïla Chaibi, of LFI, who defended herself on the networks.
Election observation mission in Ecuador: stop defamation!
False accusations repeated several times on social networks aim to undermine my dignity and the integrity of my mandate as a Member of the European Parliament.
I won't let them do it.👇 pic.twitter.com/cE7cb6PzxC
