‘Time to Drain the Swamp’ – Orban Says ‘Everyone Knew’ EU was Corrupt Before Scandal.
ANDREJ ISAKOVIC/AFP via Getty ImagesHungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán says the massive corruption scandal in the European Union should be used as an opportunity to “drain the swamp” in Brussels.
An ongoing corruption scandal at the heart of the European Union has seen a Vice President of the European Parliament arrested, among others, and the offices of two human rights organisations shuttered, as Belgian law enforcement probe officials possibly being paid off as part of an influence operation by the sharia-governed State of Qatar, which is hosting the still-ongoing World Cup.
Evidence pictures shared with the Associated Press by Belgium’s Federal Judicial Police show literal briefcases filled with cash — “a portion of the 1.5 million euro dollars found and seized by Belgian police in Brussels,” according to the news agency.
“This EU summit has been marked by the arrest, on corruption charges, of the left-wing vice-president of the European Parliament. Everyone knew that Brussels was full of corruption, but now it’s reached the stage at which the police have had to take action,” commented Prime Minister Orbán, in the EU power centre himself for an end-of-the-year European Council meeting, in comments shared on Facebook, an official translation of which has been seen by Breitbart London.
