Sorosist EU Commissioner a master of hypocrisy

With crucial parliamentary elections looming on the horizon, no wonder that Poland has been in the European Commission's crosshairs in recent weeks. However, the much-debated rule of law concerns are proving rather disingenuous because, although EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders has been unable to present any hard evidence, he himself has been mired in money laundering and corruption scandals, the clearing up of which took quite some effort from his fellow Liberals .

Polish MEPs must always protest loudly against the cynicism and audacity of EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, who at times unjustly besieges Poland and leaves no stones unturned in his fight against laws that serve the interests of, well, Polish citizens. In recent weeks, Poland has once again found itself in the European Commission’s crosshairs, with Didier Reynders attacking the Polish government over its already much-debated concerns regarding the rule of law.

They are unlawfully interfering in every act of judicial reform, in every move of the government, including purely economic initiatives, giving themselves the right to regulate and even repeal them in the name of an abstract and non-existent EU code on rule of law,

Jerzy Jachowicz, former politician and prominent publicist, recently wrote in an opinion piece. He added that the EU Commissioners are interfering in the democratic processes set in motion by the Polish government to strengthen the country’s economic power, increase its energy security and ensure the security of the daily economic life of its citizens.

EU Commissioner Didier Reynders says he is very concerned about the rule of law in Poland, „but the spectacle he is putting on is starting to resemble a showcase trial,” MEP Beata Szydlo wrote on social media. She noted that

„Mr Reynders and the other members of the European Commission regularly pillory Poland. Mr Reynders does not even hide the fact that Poles cannot pass laws without the approval and supervision of the European Commission.”


Earlier, in a debate unfolding the European Parliament during another verbal attack against Poland, MEP Beata Szydlo said that her Law and Justice (PiS) party would never allow Brussels to terrorise Poles.

Didier Reynders is making trumped-up accusations against the Polish – and often Hungarian – governments, when in fact it is he himself who is mired in dirty deals and scandals. The former Belgian foreign minister was exposed for corruption when Commission President Ursula von der Leyen nominated him as a fellow EU Commissioner. Former secret agent Nicolas Ullens, based on reports from 18 intelligence services between 2009 and 2015, alleged that Mr Reynders had benefited financially from an arms deal with Kazakhstan and that he stored €2 billion in Libya, frozen, during the presidency of Moammer Gaddafi, 2011 overthrown in 2011.

Unsurprisingly, by that time Mr Ullens’ earlier report has already been dismissed by the prosecutor general’s office in Brussels. The former secret agent had alleged that Mr Reynders had accepted substantial bribes in connection with the refurbishment of the Belgian embassy in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

„My grandfather was involved in the Belgian resistance against Nazi Germany, that’s my main motivation. But there is much more than that,” Nicholas Ullens de Schooten told V4NA at the time. Ullens said that during his years in the Belgian secret service, Reynders’ name came up every two years in connection with a corruption case. The first time was in 2009, when Belgian police moved to a new headquarters in Brussels.

„This move cost Belgian taxpayers €40 million. A similarly suspicious case was the building of the Russian embassy in Brussels in 2006, designed by Jean-Pierre Reynders, brother of Didier Reynders. It is an anomaly that the finance minister’s brother should be entrusted with the interior design of such an important institution for internal security in Brussels, at the heart of NATO and the European Parliament.”

– the former secret agent said. When he was assigned to the so-called „Kazakhgate” unit, Ullens was severely threatened by the head of the Belgian secret service police.

„He called me in twice for interviews and on the third occasion, he mortally threatened me. He said that if I signed the report, I would endanger my own life, my wife’s life and the lives of my four children. I am convinced that Mr Reynders was behind this, too”

The former secret agent noted at the time that „if Didier Reynders were elected European Commissioner for Justice, it would be like Al Capone running the Chicago police. This man has done terrible things for years and now he wants to be elected guardian of European law and order. For me, this is unthinkable and unacceptable,” he said.

The EU Commissioner eventually got away with the charges and was given the post of EU Justice Commissioner in Brussels without any opposition. Mr Reynders may also be linked to George Soros, as in 2014 he appeared at a conference in Brussels organised by the German multinational mass media company Bertelsmann, where Soros gave a presentation on the future of Europe.
