European Parliament
Alexander Mirsky  (S&D ),
in writing.
– Corneliu Vadim Tudor, a Member of the European Parliament, is accused of threatening a bailiff and some police officers, committing acts of violence against them, insulting them and generally attempting to obstruct the execution of a legal decision in the context of the eviction of the
România Mare
party from its premises in Bucharest on 4 January 2011. As Mr Tudor did not avail himself of the opportunity to explain to the competent committee his request for the defence of his immunity, Parliament has decided not to defend the immunity and privileges of Corneliu Vadim Tudor. I voted against since I respect people who are ready to oppose the lawlessness of authorities. In general, I am against making immunity a matter of bargaining between Parliament and EU Member States.
