The European Parliament this Tuesday was the scene of a surreal scene when the president of the Equality Commission expelled a MEP for not wearing the mandatory mask. What is striking is that the president, who made a plea about why it was mandatory to wear the mask, was not wearing it! The president, Evelyn Regner, from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, addressed a member of the commission, the German Christine Anderson, to whom she snapped that “you are not wearing a mask, put it on or leave the room.” As seen in the video, always without the accused wearing her own mask. At that time, another participant of the commission intervened, the Spanish Margarita de la Pisa, from the Vox party, who noted that “I do not agree” and he noticed the striking detail, “You have not worn the mask during the entire commission.” She reflected aloud: “We have just had a meeting on discrimination, the exercise of authority, hierarchy, and you are abusing your position as president to not comply with the regulations that you require of us.” But, to the surprise of locals and strangers. , the president of the commission, the Austrian Evelyn Regner, changed the tone of her words and began a surreal plea: “I do not want to go deeper because we do not have time, but I will say it once more, very slowly so that it is understood well”. Surrealist in that, without wearing the mask herself, she was giving lessons on why it is necessary for everyone to have it on at that moment.As someone who explains why he is a vegetarian while eating a succulent steak, the Austrian socialist Regner declared that “we are all in the situation of having to wear masks whether we want to or not, and there are rules for committee meetings that oblige us to do so.” Without wearing it: the “all” excluded his person.
