Guy Verhofstadt, the liberal group leader in the European Parliament, came under fire Tuesday over his links to a firm mentioned in the Paradise Papers. Verhofstadt sat on the board of Exmar — a Belgian shipping firm — which used an offshore company mentioned in the recent Paradise Papers leaked documents about circumventing tax rules through offshore investments. The revelations about Verhofstadt were made public by Belgium’s far-left Workers’ Party....

The former Belgian prime minister sat on Exmar Group’s board of directors between 2010 and 2016. Its annual reports show he received €60,000 per year. The company’s board of directors also includes Howard Gutman, former U.S. President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Belgium.

The Paradise Papers mention Exmar Offshore in Bermuda, part of the Exmar Group. Set up in 1997, Exmar Offshore provides energy services.Nicolas Saverys, chief executive officer of Exmar Group, described Exmar Offshore, a group of separate but related companies, as “an engineering company headquartered in Houston, Texas.”

I’m wondering whether the EU was designed and put in place in order for a relative handful of individuals to add to their fortunes by speculating on the then new Euro.

Hitler erased Poland’s Jews, and the EU seeks to erase the rest of the Poles.

The US, Poland and Hungary should start up a new NATO type of alliance.

I would rather see Poland and Hungary more aligned with the US and leave this EU crap behind. Plus I was planning a visit to Hungary!

I still maintain that the underlying principle of the EU's founding was to maintain a permanent socialist government in and over European countries.

Being a Magyar and Pollack, I want then to just “Say no!” Tell the EU to stuff a perogi where the sun don’t shine. If Brussels wants to be a muslim country, fine but not Hungary and Poland.
