The “forger” to be hired, Alvise Perez, was filmed getting into official European Parliament car after promising never to use it. He secured a seat in the European Parliament by preaching against what he considers political advantages that he denies. Among them, the official car. But the graphic evidence, which was circulated on social networks and which OKDIARIO reproduces in this information, shows Alvise riding a high-end official vehicle paid by the European Parliament, with free driver at your service.
A rank-and-file MEP like Alvise is not assigned a specific, fixed official car or driver. What the European Parliament offers its parliamentarians is a fleet of official cars that it rents for this purpose, with subsequent drivers also paid by the European Parliament. This is a formula that is also followed in national parliaments and, in the case of Spain, also in different autonomous chambers.
That is, MPs like Alvise can benefit from an official car upon request, although the specific vehicle and the driver who assists them may vary from day to day. In any case and for all intents and purposes, this is an official car with a driver that Alvise said he would never use, but which he enjoys as confirmed by the cameras.
“I will not have an official car,” he proclaimed during and after the European election campaign.after securing the seat in the European Parliament. He criticized the existence of these “high-end black cars exclusive to you as an MEP”. Now he has been caught enjoying one of them assisted by the corresponding driver.
When he said he would never use an official car of an MEP, he also boasted about having given up bodyguards. In the latter, unlike what happened with the official vehicle, there is no risk of being hunted down because the lie was at the origin: he said he was going to give up the bodyguards paid by the Ministry of the Interior that in reality do not exist. for MEPs like him.
“Alvise Pérez refuses to let the Ministry of the Interior provide him with two bodyguards, which he will pay for out of his own pocket,” said the electoral brand with which Alvise secured a seat in the European Parliament in mid-June. In reality, there is no link between the status of MEP and the right to escorts paid for by the Ministry of the Interior. The European Parliament does not provide private escorts to rank-and-file MEPs like Alvise, nor has the Ministry of the Interior established a protocol according to which these MEPs are automatically entitled to escorts.
Chain of controversies
Controversies are added to Alvise. Among the last, a few others in recent days. So, This week he defended Israel in the European Parliament after declaring during his campaign to become an MEP in Strasbourg that Spain was not Israel’s “whore” and that he did not want to be “its prostitute”. “It is scandalous to be the submissive little whore of Israel or Ukraine, as I see PP and Vox doing,” Alvise Pérez said in an interview.
This same week, it was also learned that Madeira Invest Club, the financial club sponsored by the forger hired by Alvise Pérez, announced its abrupt closure last Monday. The investment office, which claimed to offer a return of up to 53% to its clients, has closed its Telegram channel, with which it communicated with its community, and its phone numbers are not operational. Their offices have also closed. Madeira Investment Club had been denounced by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and a judicial investigation had been opened, ordering the closure of all the accounts of the financial club. Most of the investors who had deposited money in one of their companies discovered the news when trying to access the website.
