Daniel van der Stoep eist opstappen corrupte Martin Schulz

Dear colleagues,

Last weeks we have been confronted by serious allegations aimed towards the President of our Parliament. These allegations reflect on you all, since the President represents the European Parliament and should be impartial and free from any kind of controversy.

Summary:

1) The President is abusing his powers to remove texts from a Report critical of his behaviour.

2) The President is securing highly paid jobs for his staff within the European Parliament.

3) Unlike his predecessors he never presides over votes.

4) It has been assumed that he uses money from the European Parliament to fund his campaign for becoming the next chairman of the European Commission.

The Parliament, with a small margin, has given our President a mandate in January 2012.

For the above mentioned reasons, I would like to call on this house to arrange a vote to remove the President from his office and to let him be replaced by the longest serving Vice-President until the end of this mandate.

I propose a vote on this matter at the beginning of our votes on Tuesday the 14th of April. Because, at the end it is the parliament who decides about whom it wants as their President.

If you would like to support the proposal for a vote on the removal of Mr. Schulz as President of the European Parliament. Please reply to this message.

With the utmost regards,

Daniel van der Stoep MEP
