The complaint accuses the initiative of “systemic concealment of major contribution,” violating EU stipulations requiring citizens to report any sponsor contributions over €500.
The complaint cites PC Gamer’s interview with Scott from June, in which he said “there have been many weeks on the campaign where I’ve been working 12 to 14 hours a day to keep things moving to get signatures.” That promotional work, the complaint argues, amounts to “€63,000-147,000 in professional contribution” if he’d charged a “market rate” of “€50-75/hour.”
It’s also not how the EU’s disclosure requirements work. As Scott notes in the video, the EU’s citizens’ initiative rules say that “individuals providing non-financial support, such as volunteering, are not considered sponsors under the ECI Regulation and do not need to be reported.”
If the petition heads to the Commission after its petition deadline on July 31, we can expect to see even more exciting rhetorical maneuvers.
I sure hope that the EU can withstand these 4D chess 900 IQ rhetorical maneuvers.
Wait wait they are guesstimating how much would Scott have had to earn from the movement via his volunteer work, and pose that Labor as a donation??? They are a joke. I’m sure they know what volunteer means, with the amount of volunteer overtime that they strongly suggest (or else) their workers to do.
Pretty sure that‘s what Money told them to do.
By the way, anyone found the corespondent law? When it comes to things like that ChatGPT is worse than bing
