“What is heard about 30,000 euros is completely false”
Eleonora Meleti was a guest on the show “Buongiorno” and she talked about the comments she received about her outfit in European Parliament and the amounts that MEPs are said to receive.
“I like my outfit very much. If I’ve ever been in a costume, it’s on TV because you’ll never see me greeting people in my house or in my personal life in a curl and satin dress. I have fallen into stylistic mistakes, which have done me an injustice, my personality and my taste. If you sit and notice, though, on television this outfit for the last decade is my identity. I entered the role as a presenter. Before I became a presenter, I used to walk around in my jackets because of the news.
Whether someone stays in the outfit is none of my business. I had a message to give there. When we find our footing and our identity on television… There’s no dress code.” initially said Eleonora Meleti.
“Anyone who wants to know how much an MEP gets can Google it. Amount; It’s not even 100,000 euros. There is a huge amount of misinformation. There is also transparency about how much we earn as professionals of other kinds and how much we earn as MEPs. I go in at 60%. Anyone who enters can see what I have been making as a presenter in recent years and as an MEP. This 30,000 that is heard is completely false information.
This money is an envelope, which has your name and through it the European Parliament pays your collaborators in Brussels or in Greece whose fees are from 3,500 euros and reach 11,000 euros. You have no right to touch this money and you have no access. You can’t steal the European Union easily,” explained Eleonora Meleti.
