MEPs who should look critically at the European Commission’s bills were seduced, massaged, whispered and eventually manipulated to agree with Timmermans’ plans. Without knowing that lobbyists of the so -called charities such as Natuurmonumenten and Milieudefensie were paid very royal for this by Timmermans and his colleagues.

They could have thought of that, says NSC Europe Parliamentarian Dirk Gotink, who is researching this lobby scandal with his SGP colleague Bert-Jan Ruissen: “It is very difficult to meet people in Brussels who don’t get money from the European Commission.” They are no longer naive backpackers, who get out of the train in Brussels full of ideals in the hand in Brussels. They are very professional, well -funded, well -organized lobby offices, employed by ‘Charities’.
Money laundering surgery
One of the lobbyists, active for Natuurmonumenten and Milieudefensie, spoke on Sunday in the NPO broadcast of Medialogica. She looked into the camera with open eyes, bewildered about the allegations in De Telegraaf. Of course there were no agreements between her and Timmermans! How to add De Telegraaf! What Medialogica did not show: her own project report from 2022 in which Timmermans thanks her for the support in the elaboration of the Natuurherstelwet.

The Medialogica broadcast was a money laundering operation in which the newspaper and the investigating politicians were discredited. Gotink and Ruissen have hardly started the investigation into the 9000 (!) Secret contracts, but Medialogica knows for sure that there is nothing ongoing tables in it. Medialogica also concealed the official statement of the European Commission itself, in which it says that there is unacceptable lobby practices.
Lobby scandal
De Telegraaf revealed the wrong lobby scandal, so other media quickly put the fire blanket over it. Whatever Medialogica did not say: they themselves eat from the Brussels subsidy.
The program receives tens of thousands of euros per year through an EU media fund, which in turn is part of an NGO who receives millions in Brussels subsidy to promote the EU. Of that NGO, Human, the broadcaster that makes Medialogica, is one of the initiators.
Viewers of Medialogica did not see journalism, but propaganda paid by the EU.
