@vonderleyen The EU invested European citizens's money in the#DomRep to promote projects for#womenrights where my author's rights are being violated by the EU and its partners since 8 years ago; including a PLAGIARISM.

Delegation of the EU to the
#DomRep and its partners have been using since 2011 one of my artworks, the EMPÓDERATE logo, without license and in 2014 have PLAGIARIZED it.That’s why I filed two lawsuits against them. Read my letter to the@Eu_commission http://bit.ly/2YwugoS pic.twitter.com/PIhtXgllBd -

Rovana Plumb for Romania??? REALLY??? I legit cannot believe this! The rule of law has been crushed by ruling party PSD for years, and she is still part of that corrupt system. This is NOT what we have voted on May 26th, so it's really disappointing to see the EC bypass our vote!

You missed one but not too late to add them! Why not appoint an
#EUCitizensCommissioner to fill "empty chair" on executive left vacant by British? Civil society groups step up campaign as@vonderleyen appoints Commissioners and announces portfolios. https://theparliamentmagazine.eu/articles/news/eu-urged-create-%E2%80%98citizens%E2%80%99-commissioner%E2%80%99-von-der-leyen-prepares-unveil-team …pic.twitter.com/PXGJtGvdLTThanks.

Just a kind reminder ahead of the EP hearing of the proposed Commissioners: They must chosen on the grounds of "competence, independence, and European commitment". Article 17(3) TEU
-
Exactly! And they must be untainted - which not the case with the Polish, the Hungarian and the Romanian nominees - 2 cases of serious allegations/investigation of corruption, 1 case of HU-nominee, who as Justice-Minister had to withdraw Justice Reform violating EU-Treaty

Why so many commissioners ? in digital age 10 economists and computer is sufficient. in the US is 350 million citizens, but only 100 senators. in the EP -EC is many deputies, many commissioners, in EU country is many deputies, senators - it's gigantic costs for taxpayers.
-
100 senators + 435 congressmen for 350mn vs 751 MEPs for 513mn
-
You also need to add the cost of number of deputies and senators in all EU countries, because every EU country has a parliament and a senate and millions of officials in bureaucracy - these are gigantic costs for EU taxpayers. Good luck from Poland
-
People forget the USA also have State Houses and State Senates and Governors etc... the question is: which continent has more a democratic voting system... and Europe is way ahead as we mostly use PR and not FPTP (except UK) unlike the USA

It's a disgrace for the European Commision to accept Romania's proposal, R.Plumb it's a corrupt politician under investigation.
-
These are just the propositions from the countries' governments. The commission President and the Parliament will need to vet them and decide whether they are good choices or not. The commission doesn't pick the proposals, each national government puts them forward.
-
Yes Andreea, still our voice needs to be heard. NO, an absolute NO to Rovana Plumb. If it comes from Romanians, specially women, even better. So, an absolute NO to corrupted and incompetent Rovana,
@vonderleyen@Europarl_EN -
Yeah, definitely! Mine was a clarification in the light of hope =) I don't know the candidate, but Zi guess if the outcry is so loud it's most definitely a controversial choice. May you be heard!

She cant even go out in public without ppl screaming ar her, and she wants to be commisioner. On top of everything, she is incompetent. Her party crushed also cause of her, lost EU elections already.
