We welcome this principled decision that recognises that such a working group was never about transparency: it was about hounding some of the most critical voices in the EU.

Last week, we called on the progressive groups in the European Parliament to boycott the working group set up by the @eppgroup.bsky.social that will scrutinise, stigmatise and ultimately harm civil society actors.
Last night, they did.

The European Parliament must now proactively cooperate fully with law enforcement. But to prevent future corruption, it must also finally reform its whistleblower rules to ensure those who expose such wrongdoing are protected, and monitor the MEPs who are meeting malign foreign actors more robustly.

In March 2024, it was alleged that several MEPs had taken money to promote Russian propaganda on Youtube. Our data further shows that MEPs have, in this mandate alone, declared meetings with Russian government representatives on at least 19 occasions.
