How corrupt was the deal allowing Iran to retain its nukes? The larger question is how corrupt is the European political establishment?
The answer appears to be ‘very‘.
Former EU top diplomat Federica Mogherini was one of three suspects detained on Tuesday in police searches of the European Union’s diplomatic service in Brussels and an elite university in Bruges.
The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) said that its fraud investigation was targeting the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the College of Europe and was related to an EU-funded training course of diplomats.
It said that suspects’ homes were searched as part of the operation, also stressing that all of them were innocent until proven guilty under Belgian law.
The EPPO said that its investigation was focused on a “nine-month training program for junior diplomats” and its tender process in 2021 and 2022, which the EU’s diplomatic service the EEAS had awarded to the College of Europe.
To clarify what this means, the European External Action Service is the EU’s diplomatic service. Federica Mogherini was the EU’s foreign policy chief.
In 2020, she was appointed the rector of the College of Europe. She is also director of the European Union Diplomatic Academy and was in charge of the EEAS during her five years as a European Commissioner. The College of Europe is a postgraduate university catered to training diplomats that can trace its roots back to the earliest progenitors of the European Union.
The EU is a totalitarian rotten institution that is taking apart Europe, but not as many people understand how corrupt it is.
Let’s get back to Federica Mogherini, who was the EU’s negotiator on the Iran Deal, and insisted everything was fine on the Iranian end. Closer home to Europe, she insisted that “I am not afraid to say that political Islam should be part of the picture… Islam holds a place in our Western societies. Islam belongs in Europe. It holds a place in Europe’s history, in our culture, in our food and – what matters most – in Europe’s present and future.”
There’s always a lot of debate about whether the disastrous policies being pursued by Western elites are ideological, corrupt or just naïve.
Or all three.
Leftist ideology, Mogherini was a leftist politician, certainly plays a major role, but never pass up a chance to follow the money.
