Six men landed by three black Mercedes. One is the Minister of Labor, Al Marie, and another, his right hand, Budzelal B, so -called “Algerian”. In the following days they had a series of meetings with many people, including “European Commissioner Margaritis Schinas” but also MEPs Marie Arena and Hannah Nemann.

Panther, Georgi And An Inflated Backpack

Interventions That “Burn” MEPs

Regarding Belgian, of Italian descent, Tarabola, Soir publishes revealing evidence from his intervention in the hearing in question: “I will try to be short because I had not planned to speak”, Tarabola begins very honestly. “But listening to my colleagues, a thought comes to me.” The Belgian MEP extends, as expected, to the hypocrisy of his colleagues, who would not have the same doubts in previous major sporting events. “
Soir puts the frame and Belgian MEP Marie Arena, who, at some point, interrupting her colleague, as chairman of the committee, a question to the Qatarian minister: “You said that the European companies established in Qatar did not respect them. rules adopted by Qatar. ” It is something that Al Marie has not mentioned in his position. “Can you mention them? It would be interesting to mention European companies that do not comply with the legal framework that has established Qatar”

When Soir contacted her, Marie Arena said that “she does not remember this phone call, but added that” this listening was a transparent and difficult process for Qatar’s authorities in the presence of the Human Rights Observatory and colleagues who were not Soft with them. “And he added by speaking to the newspaper:” Personally I was very pleased with this listening that was important as it gave everyone the opportunity to express themselves. “
