Shock poll: 60% of Green voters agree mass immigration is driving housing crisis in German state of Baden-Württemberg
In a sign that Germany’s open-door immigration policy is increasingly being rejected by more and more voters, polling data from one of Germany’s largest states, Baden-Württemberg, shows that 68 percent of voters there believe the federal government’s migration policy is exacerbating the housing shortage.
The poll, from INSA and commissioned by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group in Baden-Württemberg, showed 68 percent believe the government’s policy is harming the housing market, while only 19 percent of people were convinced otherwise. Although INSA performed the polling for the AfD, it is considered one of the most respected polling firms in the country and performs polling directly for a variety of parties.
The poll has some surprising results, with 60 percent of Green voters saying they fear the influx of migrants will worsen the housing market. However, far higher numbers were recorded for other parties, including 72 percent of Social Democrats (SPD) voters, 74 percent of Christian Democratic Union (CDU) voters, and 82 percent of AfD voters.
Green voters, in particular, are friendly to the idea of mass immigration. However, at the same time, they desire less development in the countryside and the protection of forests and natural habitats. The fact that these same voters are tying the housing crisis to immigration shows that a majority may also see that mass immigration brings serious risks to the German state. And yet, many of the party’s politicians are the most aggressive about Germany’s open borders push.
The AfD, on the other hand, is trying to highlight the role migration plays in housing affordability and availability.
“Due to more and more refugees, we are experiencing gigantic pressure on the housing market. The survey proves that the population also recognizes this to an increasing degree,” said MP Miguel Klauss (AfD).
Klauss added that “Stopping the migrant influx and stepping up deportations are the order of the day. These two issues must be addressed without political correctness.”
As Remix News has previously reported, Germany is facing a housing shortage and the connection between mass immigration and the housing crisis is becoming more and more prominent, with rent prices and housing prices increasing in direct correlation with more migrants. At the same time, even seniors are being expelled from their nursing homes to make room for asylum seekers, a development that has sparked widespread public outrage.
Germany, an already densely populated country, reached a record-high population in 2022 due to mass immigration. The current government is looking to naturalize migrants into German citizens faster, relax standards for citizenship, and bring in more foreign workers. The government is set to spend a staggering €36 billion on migrants in 2023 alone as asylum applications explode higher.
Bild newspaper also points out that In the city of Stuttgart, which is the capital city in Baden-Württemberg, the current citizen survey indicates that the lack of affordable housing is the most pressing problem citizens say they are facing.
Humza Yousaf, the first Muslim leader of Scotland hates non-Muslims and white people
The first Muslim leader of Scotland, Humza Yousaf hates non-Muslims and white people, while he has been known as a supporter of radical Islam and jihadism. He is a self-described Pakistani Scottish Muslim, a man so incompetent that when he was Transport Minister, he was charged with driving without a license. He is also responsible for the writing of a proposed hate crime bill that is being pushed through the Scottish parliament, and which would see freedom of speech restricted in true sharia style.
Yousaf had publicly defended Omar Sadiq – a violent criminal and drug lord who was a blight on the city of Glasgow. He was part of an organized crime gang, and he served prison time for ramming one of his rivals off the road in his car while being in possession of firearms. It’s safe to say that Omar is not a very nice person. With the Pakistani Muslim community being as tight-knit as it is, it also comes as no surprise to learn that Omar is connected to Imran “Baldy” Shahid and his brother Zeeshan Shahid, as well as to Faisal Mushtaq, three Muslim males who were jailed for the murder of Kriss Donald, in what is described as Scotland’s most horrific racially motivated murder ever.
The media were trying to humanize Omar as being a “quiet young man” from a nice suburb in Glasgow. You could translate that into “Omar was a shadowy figure who kept a low profile in order not to attract police attention, and whose illicit gains afforded him a nice house in one of the best areas of Glasgow while his drug-addicted clients languished in extreme poverty, distress and decay”. This trend of sympathizing with violent career criminals didn’t start with George Floyd.
If you go back to 2017 and the shooting of another violent gangster and drug dealer, Yassar Yaqub, you will see that the entire Pakistani community in Huddersfield came out to mourn him and demand answers as to why he was killed. They protested against the police and slandered them, albeit not to the same degree that we’re seeing in Portland and other US cities today. And as with George Floyd and Omar, the media portrayed Yassar as being a “lovely guy” who leaves behind two children. Sympathy for the children of a dead drug dealer, but no sympathy for the children of others who have been killed by the drugs Yassar supplied them with. No mention or care for the lives he helped destroy.
When news of violent, drug-dealing Omar’s death made the news, Humza Yousaf leapt all over it. He immediately tweeted out, “Dreadfully sad news. My thoughts are with the young man’s family, friends and local community.”
He deleted the tweet hours later, but why did he tweet it in the first place?
Humza Yousaf is a notorious race-baiter, and he stands in Holyrood bleating about the lack of BAME (Black, Asian, and minority ethnic) representation in Scottish parliament. He has sought legal advice on how he can get more BAME people into governmental roles.
English voters are far more conservative than the Scottish and are perceived to be holding them back from creating a Scandinavian-style socialist state. Humza once said that: “You have to keep being radical with your ideas”. His age, looks and charisma have undoubtedly made it easier to entice the Scottish into his “radical” agenda.
Prior to his election to the Scottish Parliament in 2011, Yousaf had been a media spokesman for Islamic Relief, a charity that has been accused on a number of occasions of being a front group for radical Islamism. Yousaf was a volunteer for Islamic Relief since the age of 10.
Yousaf was also heavily involved in a community radio station for over a decade and helped organize food parcels for asylum seekers.
Humza Yousaf was embroiled in a financial scandal after his cousin Osama Saeed – a former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman – was awarded £400,000 for a Muslim festival entitled “IslamExpo”.
Commenting on Humza Yousaf, Joshua Winston wrote in an article: “Racism is normalized in many Pakistani Muslim households. They’re just very careful about not letting the mask slip when they’re outdoors. I don’t know why they settle in white non-Muslims lands when they seem to despise white non-Muslims (as well as other non-Muslims) and look down on us”.
Does Humza Yousaf really stand fit to be the leader of Scotland? I seriously doubt as he recited his oath of office in Urdu, the official language of Pakistan. It may be mentioned here that just 22 percent of the Scottish electorate hold a favorable view of Yousaf, while 42 percent actively dislike him.
He went on to list a few dozen positions, after each of which he added that wicked word “white”. People can see his racist rant on this YouTube video, after which, they will need a wee dram of Glenmorangie to steady your nerves. And Yousaf meant it. Too many white people in high positions. Deeply disturbing. But now he’s in the highest of all positions, and can do something about it. Of his first 50 hires for top spots in his new administration, at least forty of them should have been black or brown people, and ideally Muslim to boot.
Germany: Turkish migrant murders a German because he hates all Germans
After the murder of a 58-year-old German, Dortmund police arrested a 26-year-old Turk. The man is said to have deliberately ambushed the victim in an underground car park on March 7 and then executed him in cold blood.
A traffic accident of the two had preceded some days before, with which the later victim photographed the car of the perpetrator, of which this apparently felt provoked. “That’s when the Dortmund man decided to kill him,” said the investigating prosecutor, according to the Bild newspaper.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, “anger and hostility towards German citizens” plays a role as a motive. The suspected murderer is in custody. The police had formed a special commission after the murder and offered a reward of up to 5,000 euros for clues to the perpetrator.

Fake History and Redistributing Wealth – Welcome to a primitive notion of “justice”
Calls for reparations payments for the descendants of slaves and colonized peoples, the “latest obsession of the radical left,” as The Hill puts it, are currently growing, as is the tab. For example, San Francisco is proposing paying $5 million to each black resident, along with a guaranteed income of $97,000 for 250 years, and a home for a dollar. California is proposing cash payments of up to $1.2 million at a cost of $800 billion–three times the state’s annual budget. Not to be left out of the bidding, the Feds are asking for $14 trillion. But sponsor Rep. Cori Bush claims that is nowhere near the $97 trillion owed to blacks for slavery and Jim Crow.
This combination of obsession and grift also has infected England. On the eve of his coronation, Charles III was served a statement from the “commonwealth indigenous leaders.” They called on the new king “to acknowledge the horrific impacts on and legacy of genocide and colonization,” and to “redistribute the wealth that underpins the crown back to the peoples from whom it was stolen.” Given the extent and duration of the British Empire, that tab will no doubt be astronomical.
The rationale for this prohibitively expensive largess is a crude, Orwellian politicized history of the sort the left is famous for. The current proposals are unlikely to happen, but they are nonetheless racist and divisive, a testimony to how badly we are teaching history and civics––despite how dangerous to the public weal such neglect can be.
In practical terms, these schemes have numerous problems. How will eligibility be determined? Will state and federal governments investigate the genealogy of every American to determine if their ancestors were slave-owners? And what about the multiple millions of descendants of immigrants, including ethnic Africans, who came after the Civil War? Just in California there are more than 15 million ethnic Hispanics guiltless of American slavery and Jim Crow segregation.
Other questions abound. Will foreign-born blacks or their descendants be eligible? How about mixed-race Americans? Will the payments be means-tested? Or will the programs rely on “systemic racism” rhetorical sleight-of-hand to avoid these complications? In that view, given that all blacks have suffered, and given that all so-called “white people,” no matter how poor, are born with “white privilege,” all people of pallor should pay. And since tax-revenues will be used to fund the payments, all ethnicities, with their own histories of oppression and injustice, will have to pay their fellow citizens who never suffered slavery.
More important, this fetishizing of American slavery as a unique evil willfully ignores the larger history of slavery. Most pertinent is the question raised by “Royal Watcher” Hilary Fordwich: who supplied the Africans that were sold? As my professor of black history at UCLA said, Europeans didn’t drop from helicopters to snatch up Africans from their homes. Africans and Arabs rounded up the inventory and sold them into slavery. The African king of Dahomey, one of the biggest suppliers of slaves for the Atlantic slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, supposedly said that “the slave trade has been the ruling principle of my people. It is the source of their glory and wealth. Their songs celebrate their victories and the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery.”
Indeed, as Ghanaian professor John Azumah points out, while an estimated 11 million Africans crossed the Atlantic, “a minimum of 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since at least 80% of those captured by the Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from 1,400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been as high as 112 million.” Since without the African and Muslim participation in the slave trade it most likely wouldn’t have grown into a global business, why aren’t their descendants responsible for reparations to their enslaved offspring?
The demand for reparations for colonialism is equally flawed by bad history. To hear the left and its current “woke” iteration, only the West, and especially the U.S., are guilty of colonialism. Yet one of the greatest and most successful colonial empires ever was created by Muslims starting in the 7th century A.D., eventually conquering and inhabiting the great Byzantine and Persian empires. Muslim armies at one point occupied and exploited two-thirds of the Roman Empire. And as Middle East historian Efraim Karsh writes, Muslim conquerors “acted in a typical imperialist fashion from the start, subjugating indigenous populations, colonizing their lands, and expropriating their wealth and resources.”
Even more shameless, leftists have never acknowledged or demand accountability from the communist Soviet Union for its colonial empire. When the Bolsheviks overthrew the tsarist’s regime in 1917, they kept the central Asian territories that the tsars had conquered and incorporated into the Russian empire. The communists perfumed these colonies as “Soviet Republics.” After World War II, their colonial empire was expanded by adding the eastern European nations that were occupied and exploited as virtual colonies of the USSR. They were rechristened as “Warsaw Pact nations.”
And unlike the West, neither Islam nor Russia decolonize by choice. Though driven from Europe, Islam still occupies North Africa, the Middle East, and Anatolia, once the possessions of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. And Russia’s central Asian colonies gained their independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union engineered by the West and lead by Ronald Reagan. These historical facts undercut the clichéd leftist arguments about the West’s “essential evil,” as philosopher Pascal Bruckner put it, of which “every Westerner is presumed guilty until proven innocent,” and which “must be relentlessly atoned for.” This malign sensibility is one of the driving forces behind reparations.
And not just for colonialism. The Soviet Union’s postwar influence on decolonization was extended by cultural Marxism to American minorities, who were characterized as “internal colonial subjects.” Hence the solidarity of American black nationalists with ex-colonial nations like Algeria in Africa and the Middle East; the legitimization of violent resistance like that employed in anti-colonial revolutions; and the rejection of the Civil Rights movements and its principle of non-violence that exploded in the Sixties in destructive urban riots, sowing the seeds of today’s dysfunctional, crumbling blue-state cities.
This malign dynamic has been documented by Mary Grabar in her essential study The Debunking of Howard Zinn, whose propagandistic screed A People’s History of the United States has been and remains hugely influential among American leftist educrats. In a recent article for American Greatness, Grabar tracks the influence of Soviet communism and its American franchise in the Civil Rights movement. The goal was to turn its more radical elements into a communist tool, from the urban riots in the Sixties to the Black Lives Matter hustlers today.
But the beginning of this influence can be seen in the Communist Party’s interference in the 1931 Scottsboro case involving eight young black men accused of raping white women. Recounting black conservative journalist George Schuyler’s contemporary reporting on the trial, Grabar writes,
“Schuyler saw that the Communist campaign was intended to propagandize against the American justice system for the purpose of fundraising and recruitment. And the longer the ‘boys’ stayed in prison, the better. In fact, it would be even better for the Communist cause if one or more of the prisoners died on the electric chair. Fortunately, this did not happen, but the ‘boys’ lingered in jail for years as the Communists wrested the case away from the NAACP and sabotaged their legal case, while stirring up violent protests across the globe.”
This modus operandi has survived and flourished all the way to the violent protests over the Michael Brown and George Floyd shootings, the latter igniting widespread looting, vandalism, arson, and assaults in the summer of 2020.
Finally, the idea of reparations paid for by the descendants of people who lived centuries ago, is a travesty of justice. It reflects primitive notions of justice that violate the equal protection under law guaranteed by the Constitution, as well as the ancient fundamental principle that, as Aeschylus put it, “the doer suffers” for his crimes.
In fact, some justifications of Southern slavery were predicated on the opposite principle. The moral rightness of enslaving Africans was found in the biblical story of Noah’s drunkenness in Genesis 9:20-23. Noah gets drunk on his own wine, and passes out naked in his tent. His son Ham looks at Noah’s nakedness and laughs at him, then tells his brother Shem and Japheth, who avert their eyes while covering their father. Noah curses Ham and his progeny: “a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.”
Some exegetes see this verse as a Hebraic justification for the conquest of Canaan. But Americana slavocrats used it to justify the enslavement of Africans, reflecting the unjust primitive notion that the sins of the father and their punishment are transmitted to all their offspring.
Similarly, premodern anti-Semitism was justified by a biblical verse. In the account of Jesus’s trial before Pilate, the mob of Jews demanding his death overcome Pilate’s hesitation by shouting, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matthew 27:25). There is no implication in the text that this acceptance of guilt applied to all Jews forever, instead of those particular Jews standing before Pilate.
So two of the great evils of history, anti-Semitism and race-based slavery, were predicated on a primitive notion of “justice”–– just as today’s reparations movement does.
But we know what it’s all really about––political power and money. All those billions in reparations will not go to changing the dysfunctions plaguing the black underclass, most resulting from welfare and other redistributive federal programs that have weakened the black family and black character, while privileged cognitive elite blacks gain leverage for more clout.
As usual, some “black lives matter” more than others.

Anheuser-Busch InBev Market Value Has Collapsed $15.7 Billion Since Dylan Mulvaney Partnership
‘If a novel or a film is hurting someone, then it is wrong’: Muslim Actor supports calls to ban the movie The Kerala Story
Amidst the continued controversy over the film The Kerala Story which raised the issue of love jihad, conversions and indoctrination, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has been accused by his wife of sexual harassment, has said that if a movie is ‘hurting someone, then it is wrong.
In response to a tweet by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap apparently supporting the film, Nawazuddin said that “If a novel or a film is hurting someone then that is wrong.” Kashyap had tweeted earlier this month, “You agree with the film or not, be it propaganda, counter-propaganda, offensive or not, to ban it is just wrong.”
It is notable that the movie was banned by the West Bengal government, but the ban was stayed by the Supreme Court. But despite the Supreme Court order, cinemas in the state are not screening the movie, indicating an unofficial ban. Hall owners are saying that they have no free slot to show the movie, a surprising comment given that the movie is doing well everywhere else. There was a similar unofficial ban on it in Tamil Nadu, but the movie was released in the state later.
Although Nawazuddin agreed with the filmmaker, he opined that if a film or novel is hurting someone, then that’s wrong. “We don’t make films to hurt the audience or their sentiments,” Siddiqui said while speaking to News18.
The actor further stated that the films should foster social harmony and love among people adding that doing so is “our” responsibility to propagate the same. He also said that if a film has the power to break people and social harmony then that is extremely wrong. “Humein iss dunia ko jodna hai todna nahin (we have to unite this world not divide it),” Siddiqui asserted adding that nothing in the world deserves to be banned.
Siddiqui, who will be seen in his upcoming film ‘Jogira Sara Rara’ apparently tried to do the monkey balancing as he said that although nothing in the world deserves to be banned, he insinuated that the film The Kerala Story hurts the sentiments of the people completely ignoring the fact that the film has been doing phenomenally well on the box-office despite the bans and opposition by a section of people.
The film recently crossed the Rs 200 crore mark and remains unstoppable. The whopping numbers raked in by the film demonstrate that the audience wants to watch the film and is supporting it.
He said that films should serve the purpose of uniting the world and dividing it. In the case of the film The Kerala Story, the film addresses the menace of love jihad, indoctrination, and subsequent deployment of the converted victims to ISIS—either to carry out terrorist activities or become ISIS brides. The film does not praise or vilify any religion or intend to hurt the sentiments of anyone rather presents a story inspired by true events. The Sudipto Sen directorial serves the purpose of spreading awareness among the people, especially Hindu girls against the Islamist terror conspiracies and the subsequent consequences.
Notably, The movie The Kerala Story written and directed by Sudipto Sen revolves around Shalini Unnikrishnan, played by Adah Sharma, an innocent Hindu woman from Kerala, who is brainwashed by her Muslim friend and gets converted to Islam and marries a Muslim man. The lead actress soon realizes that she has been trapped in a huge terrorist web after she is raped, separated from her only child, and then forced to serve as a sex slave.
France bans short-haul domestic flights despite widespread criticism
France’s ban on short-haul domestic flights when there is a viable train alternative came into effect on Tuesday, as the French government seeks to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
The law had been in the works for over two years following the passing of a 2021 climate law which had initially moved to prohibit any domestic flight under four hours when passengers could instead take the train.
However, several reviews of the legislation following widespread criticism reduced this to a duration of two and a half hours.
The move will directly affect three major air routes from Paris to Lyon, Nantes, and Bordeaux.
Laurent Donceel, interim head of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E), told AFP that governments should support “real and significant solutions” to airline emissions, rather than “symbolic bans.”
Other critics claimed the legislation falls foul of EU competition laws, a point reviewed by the European Commission in December last year. The EU executive gave the green light for the radical climate laws on the proviso that “the negative impacts on European citizens and connectivity of any restriction of traffic rights is offset by the availability of affordable, convenient and more sustainable alternative transport modes.”
Following the go-ahead from Brussels, France’s Transport Minister Clément Beaune called the move a “major step forward,” adding: “I am proud that France is a pioneer in this area.”
The move comes as the French government continues to debate how to reduce its carbon footprint, and this week, the country’s richest were targeted in a proposed one-off green tax to help France succeed in its environmental transition.
The proposal was put to the French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne via a report authored by Jean Pisani-Ferry, a chief economic adviser of Emmanuel Macron back in 2017.
It called for France to reclaim €150 billion from the country’s richest 10 percent in the form of a green wealth tax in order to meet its net zero obligations by 2050, justifying the move with the fact that rich people typically have a larger carbon footprint.
Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire publicly dismissed the proposal on Tuesday, however much of the cabinet remained tight-lipped, including the prime minister herself.

BLM deeply in the red, but still has cash to pay its execs millions
By Monica Showalter
Race-hustling activist group Black Lives Matter has managed to blow through more than half its amassed fortune from corporate and other donors, and is now millions of dollars in debt.
But no big deal to its greedy executives. They’re still taking home millions.
According to the New York Post:
Black Lives Matter ended last year with a nearly $9 million deficit — while still paying out millions to organizers as well as relatives of controversial co-founder Patrisse Cullors.
Tax documents shared by the Washington Free Beacon show that BLM’s Global Network Foundation ended the financial year in the red to the tune of $8,559,748.
The filings show that the nonprofit recorded revenue of $8.5 million — roughly half of the more than $17 million it spent.
That deficit is made even more extreme given that the previous year, it actually increased its piggybank, earning nearly $42 million after expenses.
The financial hit also left the group with $30 million in assets, down nearly $11.75 million from where it started the financial year.
That means it has spent two-thirds of the $90 million it raised, which Cullors — who quit over earlier financial scandals highlighted by The Post — previously dismissed as “white guilt money.”
That suggests a lot of mismanagement in an organization that has already been noted for its mismanagement of funds — with words such as ‘mansions,’ ‘overpayments to unqualified web designers,’ ‘spas,’ ‘vacations’ and ‘luxury conferences’ among the many news items.
Any corporate CEO who paid himself millions with such a record would be ousted by shareholders. But not these radicals.
Where are the investigators, given that this wouldn’t be tolerated in any other charity group?
And where are the donors, the big corporates who handed this money out to them? Were they interested in helping black people? Or were they hoping to throw money at BLM in a bid to keep them from protesting against them? Somehow, we hear very little.
Worst of all, we hear very little about whether this group has ever done anything to help the black community.
European Commission Admits to Handing Millions in Tax Cash to ‘Far-Left’ NGOs
The European Commission has admitted to handing millions in taxes to a variety of NGOs, leading to accusations Europe is paying for itself to be lobbied by “far-left… radical” groups.
European Commissioner for Budget and Administration Johannes Hahn has admitted that the EU funds a wide variety of NGOs residing on the far-left of the political spectrum to the tune of millions of taxpayers’ hard-earned euros. The revelation led one European lawmaker to tell Breitbart News the revealed payments are sustaining a left-wing echo chamber in Brussels, saying: “The EU is creating and financing its own advocacy and activist groups so they can artificially weigh in on EU decision-making”.
The admission came in response to a written question to the European Commission signed by several MEPs within the right-leaning Identity and Democracy and European Conservatives and Reformists groups.
In a statement on the matter published on Tuesday, Commissioner Hahn admitted that the EU hands millions in funding to a wide variety of left-wing groups, with the bloc giving over €4.5 million to ‘No Peace without Justice’ — a group originating from the so-called ‘Transnational Radical Party’ — and over half-a-million to “Droit au Droit”, who profess to campaign for “marginalised groups”.
The Commission claims to have had no meetings with ‘No Peace Without Justice ‘, despite the multi-million payout.
Hahn failed to reveal how much the EU hands to the likes of Amnesty International and George Soros-Linked Open Society Foundation, arguing that there are numerous NGOs registered with the union operating under those names.
The European Union’s own websites appear to reveal that organisations linked with both groups received over €10 million in funding each in a period ranging from 2014 to 2021.
Speaking to Breitbart Europe regarding the revelations, one of the politicians behind the written question, Flemish MEP Tom Vandendriessche, commented that the EC’s statement provides even more evidence that the EU is actually paying for itself to be lobbied.
“The European Commission is, directly and indirectly, subsidizing dozens of NGOs and lobbying organizations that are active in the fields of climate activism and human rights activism,” the Vlaams Belang member said, adding that both large and small organisations regularly receive funding from the international bloc.
“The EU is creating and financing its own advocacy and activist groups so they can artificially weigh in on EU decision-making,” he added, describing the organisations as often being “situated on the far left” and as including “radical activists”.
Meanwhile, another representative behind the question, German parliamentarian Dr Gunnar Beck, expressed frustration at the lack of scrutiny such funding faces, especially in the wake of the now-infamous Qatargate bribery scandal.
“While providing lavish EU funding to the NGO sector, the Commission is very reluctant to scrutinize the actual use of these funds, even in the context of the Qatargate scandal,” the Alternative for Germany rep told Breitbart Europe.
“The European Commission clearly stated that, regardless of the ongoing criminal investigation into the NGOs, it had no indications of any undue influence,” he continued. “This is preposterous. It clearly shows that the Commission´s internal audits are insufficient, if they take place at all.”
He also suggested that the massive spending in the sector could “alternatively” indicate that the European Commission is just using vast amounts of public funds “for the promotion of its own political agenda”, with Dr Beck describing the body as acting in a way “as if Qatargate never happened”.
