Eva Kaili was elected as the youngest member of the Greek Parliament after serving as a news presenter in one of the country’s leading chains
“Qatar is a labor rights leader (…) It has undergone a historic transformation and its reforms have inspired the Arab world.” The words of MEP Eva Kaili in one of the last debates in the European Parliament left her colleagues on the bench and the journalists following the session in surprise. However, a day after his arrest for his alleged involvement in a bribery scheme in the Gulf state, the pieces are starting to fall into place.
Kaili, who was a Greek television star, has been characterized as a dissolute member of the socialist group (S&D). Born in Thessaloniki, she was always connected to politics and the youth of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). After studying Architecture and Civil Engineering, he showed an interest in social institutions and followed a master’s degree in European Politics.
At the age of 26, he began presenting the news for one of the country’s leading chains. After several years on the air, she was elected as the youngest member of the Greek Parliament.
He arrived in Brussels in 2014 and distanced himself from his political party from his seat in the European Parliament. He spoke out against the agreement between Greece and Macedonia renaming the country North Macedonia. “I am ashamed. It is irreparable damage to history,” he tweeted. She was also highly critical of the social aid announced by the radical left party Syriza during the Greek crisis, assuring that “the aid” was “for lazy people”.
She was notable for her work on the Digital Agenda for Europe and for being the first woman to hold the European Parliament Presidency for Science and Technology. In addition, the international press considered her one of the most influential European politicians for many years.
He has held one of the community agency’s vice presidencies since January, after David Sassoli’s death forced the organization to rebuild. Given the suspicions that weighed on her, the Socialists expelled her from the group and several MEPs asked her to resign her seat.
