“I am calm, Radek Sikorski’s explanation is enough for me. He says this advice is at the conference,” Sławomir Neumann said on Polish Radio 24, defending his party colleague. And there are no serious allegations from the MP of the PO that are convincing? That was to be expected.
On Thursday, the Dutch daily newspaper “NRC” reported that PO MEP Radosław Sikorski receives 100,000 a year. hole. from the UAE. “His behavior during voting, in combination with payments, arouses suspicion,” say the newspaper’s interlocutors.
The daily lists cases where a PO politician took a favorable stance for the Emirates and their closest ally in the region – Saudi Arabia. On Friday, the Belgian newspaper “De Standaardard” reported that PO MEP Radosław Sikorski received half a million dollars from the United Arab Emirates.
Also on Friday, the CBA press team announced that officials of the CBA’s Department of Control Proceedings have verified the accuracy and veracity of the asset declarations submitted by Radosław Sikorski in the years 2019-2022 in connection with the performance of his mandate as a member of the European Parliament.
Neumann defends Sikorski
Sławomir Neumann – apparently faithful to the “doctrine” named in his honor – decided to defend his fellow party member. Not only that, he gave a sort of eulogy in honor of the MEP.
He is a serious and strong character, not only the EP (…) is expressive, that’s for sure
– he said in PR24.
And the specific allegations of… foreign media?
You know, we can quote various media, but Radek Sikorski made no secret of the fact that he has been advising at a conference in the UAE for five years, together with many important politicians from all over the world.
He tried to defend himself.
He took or takes money for it, he has it in his estate declaration, he pays taxes on it. This is not news that would be a discovery similar to the first step on the moon, if I only read his power declaration, in which it is just
Neuman said.
However, the host replied that “not everything” is in the asset declaration.
The Belgian services, which have dealt with a real scandal in the EP, will certainly screen all MEPs (…) You have to wait and see. I am calm, Radek Sikorski’s explanation is enough for me. He says this advice is at the conference
continued the PO MP, bravely standing next to his colleague.
Conference advice? “Classified” – replied the interviewer. Neumann was thus left with only political malice.
Things like dealing with the House of Saud and selling Rafineria Gdańska for next to nothing came out of this conference
he tried to answer.
Neumann further argued that he believed in the “transparency of the European Parliament”, in his opinion the allegations that Sikorski was trying to hide something “do not hold up”.
He voted like the entire EVP. Let them investigate, that’s what they’re for
– added.
Pro-Russian? MP calls it “absurd”
The journalist asked his guest about speculations about the possible return of Radosław Sikorski to the position of head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, should the opposition win in the upcoming elections. Is a politician with UAE money the right figure for such a place? Neumann replied that he “doesn’t want to split the bear’s skin” and argue about the division of positions.
The moderator also recalled the words of the US State Department spokesperson that Sikorski’s statements (in the context of reports of explosions on the Nord Stream lines) were a function of Russian disinformation.
Nonsense. Life also goes beyond Twitter
Neumann responded, praising Sikorski’s “patriotism”.
Over the years, not only has Sikorski shown great patriotism and not just such a pro-Atlantic, pro-Western outlook, but he’s also fought with this Russia or with these Soviets in Afghanistan, so the attempt to turn him into the pro- To cast Russism is so absurd that one does not want to believe it
said the MP.
absurd? Sławomir Neumann does not want to remember tweets about Nord Stream and strange digressions about the alleged “doubts” of the PiS government? Will he not recall the Russian media publications where Sikorski was willingly quoted? Could this attempt to defend his colleague be the “Neumann Doctrine” in a nutshell?
