If EU can force apple to use usb type C in their phones, I think it's vital to bring back headphone jacks back in all smartphones, as wired headsets/earphones emit way less radiation compared to wireless ones. And the quality is somewhat better than wireless in many cases. What do you all think?
The case against Eva Kaili
Qatargate Scandal: In December 2022, Belgian authorities arrested Kaili in connection with a corruption investigation involving Qatar. During raids, police recovered approximately €1.5 million in cash, with reports indicating that "several million euros" were handed to the main suspects in the so-called Qatargate scandal.
EU Budget Fraud: In February 2024, the European Parliament lifted Kaili's immunity to allow investigation into allegations of defrauding the EU budget of approximately €150,000. This involves claims of orchestrating fake jobs and kickbacks with former assistants
As of November 8, 2024, the case against Eva Kaili, former Vice President of the European Parliament, is ongoing. In September 2023, her defense initiated a legal challenge, leading to an internal investigation into the conduct of Belgian authorities during her arrest and detention. This inquiry is examining the legality of evidence collection and potential procedural violations. In February 2024, Kaili announced she would not seek re-election as a Member of the European Parliament. The investigation continues, with no final verdict or resolution reported to date.
Eva Kaili is currently living a normal life without any legal restrictions. In April 2023, she was released from prison and placed under house arrest with electronic monitoring. By May 2023, the Belgian federal prosecutor's office announced that she no longer needed to wear the electronic monitoring bracelet, effectively ending her house arrest. Since then, she has resumed her regular activities.
Hi everyone,
I am a US citizen. For the past year or two I have been working on developing my Hungarian language skills so that I can apply for Hungarian citizenship. I am 25% Hungarian, which is enough to gain citizenship if I can learn the language.
My goal with this is to get the citizenship and live elsewhere in the EU because I don't want to live in Hungary .
What do you think the chances are of Hungary leaving the EU at some point in the near future?
I don't want to spend more time learning this difficult language if it ultimately could turn out to be a waste .
Thank you.
Hi guys!
I applied for the Schuman Traineeship at the EU Parliament. I applied for 3 positions and I had an interview for one position this week, but in my account it still says "Application Submitted", however next to a different position it says "Ongoing", even tho I did not have an interview for that one.
Is there anyone who knows what each application status means?
Thank you in advance!
