The main issue of Hurriyet is the corruption scandal involving MEP Eva Kaili and six other accused. The newspaper presents the evidence the Belgian authorities have found so far about the corruption ring with Qatar. In fact, the Belgian authorities' announcements are pending, which will decide the course of the case. But she has already been stripped of her duties as vice-president of the European Parliament.
The Turkish newspaper, entitled "Eva Earthquake in the European Parliament", reports on the developments, with the author pointing out that the operation, which took place on 9 December, World Anti-Corruption Day, had a "seismic" impact on the European Parliament.
Kaili's detention was also a bombshell in Athens
"At the centre of the earthquake is Eva Kaili, a Greek MEP originally from Istanbul, who is one of the 14 vice-presidents of the European Parliament," the text reads.
The paper refers both to the Belgian operation, following suspicions that a Gulf country was trying to influence the financial and political decisions of the European Parliament, and to those arrested, including Eva Kaili's companion.
"The detention of Kaili also dropped a bombshell in Athens," the author points out, referring also to the reactions that have been provoked at the political level, but also to the deletion of the MEP from PASOK-KINAL and S&D.
Reference to Kaili's origins
The article refers both to Eva Kaili's profile, with the author saying that for a time she was known as the "Barbie of Parliament" and "Queen of Beauty of Politics in Greece". Reference is made to her parents, Alexandros Kaili, who was born in Alexandroupolis and is an electrical engineer, and her poet-writer mother Maria Ignatiadou.
At the same time, reference is made to her statement to Hurriyet in 2014, where she declared her love for Istanbul and her father who "speaks Turkish and has friends in Turkey".
