- December 12th, 2022: Statement on the ongoing investigations in Belgium involving some members and staff of the European Parliament.
Thank you, Madam President! Well, there is not much to be said. A lot of facts have already come out and I am sure more will come out in the future. Perhaps some of them quite surprising in a most unpleasant sort of way. But you were right of course, Madam President, that the European Parliament was targeted by the "bad guys", and probably they considered the Parliament to be a place with several weak spots and - indeed - they succeeded to a degree that shocked a lot of us. So I always wonder and ask myself to what extent is it a problem of personal weaknesses of our colleagues, former colleagues or staffers, and to what extent is it a problem of a system, of a structure, of rules and procedures. Probably both elements should be taken into account and I wish there could be some kind of a critical, objective analysis of this phenomenon. After all, this is a huge institution, very complex and not easy to manage. But such a critical analysis should be conducted by somebody from outside, not from our midst, for obvious reasons - that we are more interested in sustaining this institiution and defending it, no matter what we say openly. So I would suggest that we should have a sort of critical description of the way such an institution functions. Perhaps that would give us an insight into what was wrong and how to prevent similar developments from happening in the future. And one last point - one thing that will certainly not improve the reputation of the European Parliament: pompous, highfalutin rhetoric. This will not help. I mean, I have an impression that we very much like to indulge in sort of lofty language. That didn't help in the past, hasn't helped and won't help. Just do something real. We want the real thing. Not the rhetoric. Rhetoric is a very easy thing.
I APPLAUD YOU SIR!!👏👏👏👏
He is talking to hypocrites and nothing will ever be done to address the problems.🎉
Correct, and they were not targeted by 'the bad guy'. The EU parliament is THE BAD GUY :)
One of the few people in the EU Parliament with a brain
He has zero brain. Hence he studies and teaches something that is university unworthy and disgraces everyone with an actual university degree.
And heart.
Every time this man speaks, there is a noticeable breeze of fresh and clear air blows through the meeting. A decent, honest and selfless man in politics. How utterly refreshing.
Just like Farage was telling us
Decent xd? Not only did he study something and teaches something that is University unworthy.
He also has the weirdest opinions about christiniaty and homosexuality.
This guy is just an unintelligent nutjob
@@bear1245 You mean the same Farage, who has fucked over UK? The country that is now going into a recession and has an even bigger inflation problem?
@@strateeg32 how did he f the uk exactly. The Tories called the Brexit vote. Which did not cause the recession! Every single country is messed up. You could argue usa is in a worse state. Farage told us about these dodgy eu deals and now faced with proof you’ve wound yourself up lol
Leader of EU's husband works for the pharma industry.. corruption starts at the top
Clear and honest speech. More of the sort that the leaders of the Parliament should develop their standards by.
clear as mud. it was inaudible.
@@bm5906 haha, I heard it very well. Something wrong with your laptop?
Bullshit from sheep!
@bm5906 I suppose you can't read either ...
Prof. Legutko is one of the very few within the EU organization who is worth listening to.
Oh, it's entirely a problem of personal weakness, mainly greed, and after a few years the structure become rotten because the individual components are rotten. But it start with lies and greed. Do not pretend there’s any structure possible which is immune to individual corruption, please! Only a few basic things are needed:
1. Transparency.
2. More transparency.
3. Complete transparency.
4. Full accountability
Power corrupts even the best of angels. Parliamentary systems that require honest participants are doomed to fail in corruption and be replaced by dictatorship.
hahahah , are those 3rd world ideals ? Those are non existent in the "western democracies" !
Good luck with this. The West has been taken over from within😂
@@oliveoil7642 By whom?
@@Hallands. Du bist ein Baby..😂
Medal of honor for you, Mr. Legutko
Bardzo dobrze mówi pan profesor Ryszard legutko
professor has all my respect
Without lofty language and doublespeak, I don't think the Parliament could exist.
Neither could the U.S Government lol lol Your comment is so true. Ty 💓
*Reality:* vice president of EU is caught red handed getting bribe from Quatar
*Narative:* it's still the Russian's fault, this further prooves we need to seek guidance of Americans, all else is ego talk.
*Me:* wait a minute ...
One of the stupidest comments ever. No one is blaming Pooting for this. If you are a commie friend, simply say so; there is no need to mix narratives here. Russia is no paradise but keep believing that the bad guys are elsewhere.
It's funny because throughout the world the EU is known for corruption. For example whenever they want to bolster their agriculture they simply declare South African products as having some defect.
It’s not russias fault. It’s our fault for not speaking up .
And when did Parliament listen to the people, where and when can we voted in important thing ?
Where do we have democratic European Parlament ??
I believe European Parlament leaders work for US interest, and Europe would suffer and collective collapse because of this.
Bye bye to wealthy Europe when Europe are forced to buy expensive LPG gas and oil from US.
Be dependent on shipping expensive LPG gas and oil from the other side of the globe -US, would not be good for Europe in the future.
And not good for the globe, when we know only 15 huge ship's letting out more pollution than every car on the globe 🌎
Unbelievable to witnesses this insanity, no secret anymore what US working on in Ukraine since 2013.
People should see some education videos from US Professor John Mearsheimer, he knew year's back what US working on and planned in Ukraine since 2013.
Everything he predicted and warned about year's ago when it comes to Ukraine and US involvement.
We all witnesses happening right now, see some education videos from US Professor John Mearsheimer, it's his job to know what US working on around the world.
He knew US decided years ago using Ukraine as a battleground for their proxywar against Russia.
Trying to weakening Russia, US professor John Mearsheimer Said stop provoking Russia multiple times .
But US didn't care listen, they decide that Europe should be dependent on US expensive LPG gas and oil shipped from the other side of the globe.
And that Europe should not be dependent on cheap gas and oil directly from pipelines from their neighbor.
Just unbelievable.......
Reality: Russian tycoons who spoke against Pooting are mysteriously falling off balconies, being poisoned, etc.
Narrative: It's most definitely not Pooting at work here. It is yet another piece of propaganda from the West.
Wise man, wise words
Good luck Professor. Parliament, regardless of which country is a talking chamber.. idle promises, elaborate rhetoric, posturing for effect. When politicians accept money and gifts from outside, it’s for their insight and influence behind the scenes.. the mechanics on how best to achieve an end result. This does indicate as you suggest.. personal weakness and political machinery that’s not fit for purpose, either unable or unwilling to process business. Big job ahead..
The parlament wasnt atacked by the bad guys,...they ARE THE BAD GUYS.
Why would the European people want to be ruled by the EU in the 1st place ? 😵
This guy proves time and time again he is the only one who knows what's going on, no the wonder they hate him.
This man is strong and courageous in his damning of EU and how it operates. It is refreshing to hear someone call it and tell the truth.
DONT FORGET CLARE DALY AND MICK WALLACE
VERY well said Professor.
Well said. Professor. 👏 hopefully a few more good MEPs will speak out against what’s happening.
Well done 👍
Great articulated!.
Targeted?? Bahahhahhahaha "Mdme President" is the worst of them all ff's 🙄🤦♂️🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Dziękuję za odwage, za prawde!
Measured as always 👌 and, lo and behold, nobody laughing to his face.
Tip of the corrupt iceberg!!
When are Europeans going to admit the simple fact that the European Union is a colossal failure, as all federations are bound to be? I am a Canadian, and I am not afraid to admit that our federation is a colossal failure. The weakness of every federation is that politicians always end up pandering to the areas governed that are the most populous and the most economically powerful in order to get into and remain in power, and then those areas end up dominating the entire federation economically and politically.
Did you hear the one about the GTA , Dominion ballot Inc ,.and a narcissist WEF Puppet?
politicians-lawyers-or 2n hand car salesman without rhetoric would be like goal keepers with no arms
Nigel Farage could be that outsider to carry out the investigation the professor rightly requests.
No. The EU is designed Oligarchy focused on Mercantilism and that leads to concentration of power under key power brokers and what constitutes corruption a slippery slope. The change a while back to put the key committee posts under the control of just two parties has left the parliament wide open. The original motive was to keep UK Centre-Right out of posts when we were members in an act of racial bullying effectively voted for by a majority of MEPs, Brexit was an earlier reaction (making accusations of us leaving for no reason from the perpetrators particularly despicable), but now there are further consequences. Also lots of spare deputy commissioners floating around and a Commission president chosen as a racial sinecure, so long as she is anti Eastern Europe.
I wonder if tony blair had any involvement, corruption does seem t follow him around it seems.
Is he talking about "penetration of the cabinet's by the world economic forum" ?
One in the same
As Prof Legutko suggests, the problem is structural. The European Parliament has no coherent government or opposition, nor even organised party coalitions. MEPs vote essentially as individuals, to their own agenda. They are elected to a fixed term, on only the vaguest indication of policy, so their votes are really tradeable and negotiable. The agenda is set by the European Commission. The EC is appointed, not elected. It is sworn NOT to consider the interests of any member, and the Commissioners may again pursue personal agendas, answerable to no one. With only 27 Commissioners, each becomes a prime target for lobbying. This system facilitates corruption, so much so as to create the suspicion that it was designed for that very purpose.
Bravo of speaking the truth !!!!!!!!!
It might help if the EU became a democratic institution.
Those "European values" seem to be a little overvalued. 🤔
Secret ballot:who wants a effective analysis of the institution?
1 percent??
Bravo Polen 🇵🇱 Bravo Ungarn 🇭🇺 weiter so schöne grüsse aus ruhige christliche Demokratie Land Ungarn Bravo Orban Bravo Ungarn 🇭🇺
👏👏👏👏👏
look no further than klaus stirring the pot
2:25 And besides the EP, do not forget the European "Commission" and its "President", both of whom speak pompously when propagating their megalomaniacal plans.
As a center-right Canadian, instead of spending all your time on generalizations, I request you tune your speeches to the average citizen of the European Union by providing some examples of what you speak of. For instance, when speaking of environmental alarmists, I would speak of Germany's reliance on coal after wasting billions on renewables by listening to them. Your message is wonderful but only people who follow politics closely understand you. This is a minority, unfortunately.

There is no time for analysis of the causes of this corruption scandal. The EP is to busy praising UKR and issuing sanctions against Russia , but actually destroying EU economies.
There’s lots of money moving around, plenty fall in the beurocrats pockets.
NOT MENNY HONEST GENTLEMAN LEFT RYSZARD SIR AND I BELIEVE YOU WOULD NOT BE THE MOST POPULAR MAN AT THE MOMENT STICK WITH IT🤣🤣🤣
Kuðos Prof. Legutko. Tell it like IS! 💫👍💫
without that man in the big teepee ... well, who knows !
Oh Yea those outside audits are very cool.
Where are all the remain crew on this corrupted little endeavour. Seems like the EU is a dirty little cabal.
It is not weakness it is greed, just horrible greed!
In a nutshell what he's saying is most of you here listening to me don't have a backbone so get out of the way and let the people get on with their lives.
Welcome to politics professor.
There will be a buffet after the
meeting.
The professionalization of politics has only brought us sociopaths and thieves.
In layman's terms "Stop talking 💩"
Well it would be a start.
Okay... but what was the scandal in question? This is just a short clip of a longer speech, obviously. But we should know what happened. Corrupt individuals always weasel their ways into governments somehow, let's just shine a light now. TRANSPARENCY.
Thé VP a woman took a bribe from Qatar to host the fifa cup champions ship I believe
But that descision was taken years ago. I would think it more likely concerning more recent issues.
Expose these muppets
Love this man speaking truth.🇨🇦
Thank you so much !
Respect
Wiatractwo i Gutierrestwo to nie najlepsza droga na przyszłość dla świata.
W 5 10 15 nastoletni tow. Kraśko i jego towarzystwo promowało holenderskie wiatractwo, jak by to była radziecka kosmonautyka i Sputniki a Antonio Gutierreza, jak by on był Andropowem albo Breżniewem😉
Ogólnie to wynosili oni na piedestał wielu towarzyszy na zachodzie na zasadzie "zobaczcie jaki on śmiesny! Dostał Order Uśmiechu i musi wypić szklankę soku cytrynowego! Krzywi się, hi hi 😁". " A patrzcie na tamtego! On nawet Nobla dostał!🤯 Trzeba go słuchać😉".
-- Bareja pokazał nam, co niedobre!
-- Kraśko i 5 10 15 pokazali, co "dobre"!
I tak zrobili wszystkich w bambuko😉
Obviously many politicians at this point (particularly in the US)really only represent the highest contributor (cough) and or those with the most power. Economies and societal systems have become more broken over decades, with one band aid after another, while becoming more corrupted by individuals involved as time went on.
At this point citizens are voting on people who represent no values, and no issues that improve their lives.
IMO The economy and society will continue to decline in the West unless we implement a new system of societal management.
So let's break down why I think we need a completely new form of government and society and what it should look like in the 21st century. Actually not a government and society but a civilization.
Common desires for all citizens ex. Sustainable food, water, housing, security, health and well being, etc etc.
Presently we vote for a person or a group that is supposed to represent a populations values and needs. However, most people are fallible and easily corrupted. This is generally where all problems start with any and all systems of government and society.
What we NEED if we want a strong, vibrant, sustainable, evolving civilization is to take the "representative" person or group out of the equation and have all decision making made by criteria. Criteria that can't be corrupted. The "Criteria" determined by its citizens and forged in their Constitutions and in law based on their values and needs.
Obviously, I can't detail the entire system in a post on your site. However, as an example, "spending" would have to be justified by criteria that force logical and positive decision making based on common requirements/desires of all citizens ex. Sustainable food, water, housing, security, health and well being etc etc.
Obvious spending Criteria:
1) is it necessary ?
2) does it harm anything or anyone
3) is it sustainable
4) does it result in a "net positive" improvement in the lives for its citizens
5) does it improve efficiency
6) etc etc I could go on for days with many layers
My vision here would see those in "Government" as administrators only. All decisions made by "criteria" would be administered by those in government. As strange as this new form of government might sound..... I believe the first society to implement it will become the fastest growing/thriving and most powerful civilization in the world.

Again Sir it was amazing speach.Well done.The problem is everyone in the European union only looking their own benefit and a little their countries the rest of the European are suffering!!!Women,children because of man gread.Old people can't eat,heat their house,not enough pension.the whole Eoropean institution need restoration . Brussel and other powerful countries MISSUSES their power and the poorer people have to suffer for it..Every country in Europe should receive the same amount of money like the rich one.
Z głębokim uszanowaniem wobec tak widzianej istoty niezmiernego Pana trudu:
Ślepej kurze jadlo-do spokoju stadło!
Not one FACT has ever been produced or shown in the European Parliament....NOT one!!!
Bravo Professor Legutko!!! You’re the salt of the Earth and the world needs your truth and your courage❤
An elected official, to be worthy of the position to which he/she is elected (or hired), must have sufficient character as to be able to subordinate self-interest to interest in and service to the greater good. That is pretty much common knowledge. That is an underlying factor of any oath of allegiance sworn to by any who take up employment in any collective body. In fact, some organizations actualy conduct background checks on individuals being considered as potential future members of said organizations. And so an individual, having passed the tests for entrance, is allowed entry. But, in recognition of the fact that strength of character varies from person to person, and may strengthen or weaken in any person, we have to ask, "What happens between the times of swearing in, swearing the oath of allegiance, and that of succumbing to temptation? Don't we also have to recognize the fact that the first allegiance is always to oneself, according to one's beliefs and perception, to one's own greater good? This contradicts the deeper meaning of the oath taken, that being that the individual is to sacrifice his/her own interests in service to the greater good. Commit suicide if necessary.
Asking/demanding self-sacrifice from another is easier to do than demonstrating by one's own behavior that which is asked of the other. And there is the main flaw, isn't it? Who among us is not primarily self-interested, willing to "do as one must" in order to survive? "Strength of Character" is but a myth.
EU shall introduce tool to expose corruption. Example.. Those whom come out and reveal corruption should get pension for life and lower punishment, those whom does not actively expose corruption but are corrupted should be jailed for life.
They will do nothing as they are fat and comfortable and would never rock the boat!
What? A series of people who are appointed to seats of power not selected by the people have turned out to be corrupt? Why who would have imagined this would ever be the case .. ROFLMAO.
Politicians around the world are such criminals and people need to rise up and go after them in full force of the law .
Enforcement is so important and if they have corrupted the legal institutions u all need to use force
@1:14, much simpler Proffesor: GREED.....
He didn't say anything factual to substantiate his claims. It was just a underwhelming rant.
Why has this information just come out, as the World Cup competition draws to a close? Who knew about it Year’s ago?
He has a point about it being the problem not just of personal weaknesses of the corrupt colleagues, but also how the system is set up. From what I have seen in life so far, any system that can be abused will be abused. So, I guess, it is more important to set the system in a way that will make it difficult to exploit. We do that elsewhere. For example, if a web site is taken down by a group of hackers, the web developers will immediately investigate what went wrong and try to fix it so that the same thing doesn't happen again. The fact that the political systems all over the world seem to remain corrupt makes me think that whoever has set them up wants them like that.
The EU: corruption, corruption, corruption...... nothing else.
End fractional banking by privately owned corrupt groups who have given themselves an above the law status, and have abused that to the highest level
The professor fail to recognize human nature when given power,especially women
with the world having been getting suddenly filthy rich people. this is a common outcome in more than just the EU
Each time the answer is the same. Forgetting what had happening, focus on the future. An nothing will be made.
Let your “no” mean no and your “yes” mean yes . How can our children be honest if the grown ups are acting? Thank you sir for taking a stand!
Good point. Which organization is independent and honest enough to audit European institutions ? I can’t think of any, I’m afraid
I hate violence but that place in Brussels needs to be disinfected, I get distinct fascist vibes when I see that blue emblem.
Beethoven spinning in his grave too!
Who occupied UK parliament representatives seats?
🙏💐❤️
Rats made sleepy pigs a awakening 😆🤮🤮🤮🤮slavery
The ROUND TABLE OF RIDICULOUSNESS!!!
Great character - hallo from Prague! Thank you *
Nothing more than so clearly esposed .......
What? No hyenas in the room? Well that's refreshing.
To coin a phrase - I'm, luvvin it!
And corruption doesn't go on anywhere else in the world.
As soon as we shif to no bullshit dipolacy speak the better we will be
Every thing he says is truthful.
The scandal is all forgotten a month later. Shame on those criminals and the media
The stench of corruption permeates this room 🤢
PERFECT !!!
No critics, pull them out, that’s it.
You should be promoted to the top job. Common sense at last
can't hear a thing he is mumbling.
