EU commissioner who said 6 million more migrants needed for Europe caught up in ‘Qatargate’ bribery scandal

 

There are signs that the Qatargate bribery investigation which has rocked the European Parliament is now spreading to the European Commission, and depending on who ends up ensnared in the scandal, the investigation’s results could be catastrophic for the liberal-left ruling Brussels.

 

Suddenly, MEPs, shadowy NGOs, and various left-wing networks are facing much of the scrutiny they are totally unaccustomed to, including former EU commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos.

 

In February 2017, Avramopoulos insisted that the EU-27 would need 6 million more immigrants in the coming years and that the EU would open immigration offices in all countries on the southern coast of the Mediterranean and in western Africa as a way to fight illegal immigration.

 

Avramopoulos, who made the remarks during an event at the University of Geneva, was not just any commissioner at the time he called for 6 million more migrants to Europe, but the commissioner in charge of immigration, which means he had a powerful voice regarding the direction the EU took on the divisive issue.

 

This same former commissioner is now being eyed for his potential role in the EU’s latest scandal, which has seen at least €1.5 million in bribe money from Qatar and Morocco found in suitcases and paper bags of left-wing EU officials, including Greek MEP Eva Kaili, who was formerly a European Parliament’s vice-president and who is now awaiting trial. 

 

In light of the ongoing corruption scandal, there are also serious concerns that Avramopoulos may have had a monetary motive to lobby for 6 million migrants into Europe.

 

One of the two countries that allegedly sponsored this corruption scheme is a known state sponsor of Islamism and a declared strategy of Islamists to impose their creed on Europe is to encourage mass emigration of Muslims to Europe. At the same time, given all that Avramopoulos said, wrote and did when he was the European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship in the Juncker Commission, there is speculation that Qatar and other state sponsors of Islamism have long been exerting their influence by corrupting members of EU institutions.

 

According to information released to the public, Avramopoulos had been appointed to the “Honorary Board” of Fight Impunity, the NGO founded by former MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri, from Italy, who is at the center of the corruption scandal. It is also clear that Avramopoulos had obtained the current commission’s green light for this appointment and that he met several times as a Fight Impunity board member with incumbent commissioners before the end of the two-year period was over in which he was supposed to have been banned from participating in meetings for political talks or lobbying.

 

An internal inquiry has now been opened into the former commissioner’s meetings as a board member of Fight Impunity, the NGO at the center of the “Qatargate” bribery scandal, where he allegedly met with at least nine members of the Von der Leyen commission.

Although Avramopoulos was a member of the center-right New Democracy party, which has governed Greece under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis since 2019 with a tougher approach to immigration, Avramopoulos remains a strong advocate of mass immigration to Europe.

 

His call for 6 million migrants into Europe sounded very much like the Soros Plan often denounced by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Avramopoulos conceded at the time that “we cannot, however, let everyone in,” as it “would only feed xenophobia, nationalism, and populism,” but later, in December 2017, Avramopoulos published an article to explain to his fellow Europeans that illegal “migrants are here to stay,” that “we cannot and will never be able to stop migration,” and that we should therefore “collectively change our way of thinking.”

 

In the new Von der Leyen Commission, Avramopoulos’ responsibilities are now shared between his fellow Greek and party colleague Margaritis Schinas, Commission Vice-President and Commissioner for Promoting our European Way of Life, in charge of the integration of immigrants, culture, and sport, and Sweden’s socialist Ylva Johansson, Commissioner for Home Affairs in charge of immigration and asylum.
