BRUSSELS, 3 (EUROPA PRESS)

The European Parliament will give 1,500 euros more per month to each its members to pay their assistants, after a commission l there Quotes approved on Thursday, with the support of 'popular' and socialist, an increase of 13.2 million euros for the resources allocated to these expenses. This is a "scandal" and "irresponsible" in the words of the spokesman for economic affairs of the Group of the Greens in the Parliament, Helga Trüpel, for whom increasing the budget for the expenses of MEPs in a context of crisis and austerity is "a mistake."

The decision is a total increase of 13.2 million euros to be distributed among the 736 MEPs from the European Parliament, as reported by the Greens in a statement, but must still be confirmed by the plenary. "The coalition of center-right and socialist has voted to support this increase is clearly out of touch of the fiscal realities and has failed to understand that budgetary constraints in Europe also implies responsible decisions on the budgets of the EU, "Trüpel.

The representative of the Greens has regretted that the commission vote MEP for the increase in spending to send the "wrong message" to the public and jeopardize the image of the Parliament that citizens receive.
