Alvise Pérez hides his income from the European Parliament

The agitator Alvise Pérez hides his income from the European Parliament. The MEP from Se Acabó la Fiesta has left blank the section referring to income from professional activity prior to entering into the minutes. In the declaration of interests that all parliamentarians must submit, he defines himself as a “self-employed political analyst and consultant”, but assures that this is a job “without remuneration, only donations”.

This clarifies the information required by the European Parliament regarding their previous activities. Specifically, Article 4 of the Code of Conduct requires MEPs to provide details of their paid activities in the three years prior to entering Parliament, as well as their membership during that time on committees or boards of directors of companies, non-governmental organisations, associations or other bodies with legal personality.

Although he did not provide information on the amount of remuneration he has received for this activity, he does acknowledge that he receives it “monthly,” as he has stated. PublicAlvise Pérez’s political career began as an advisor to Toni Cantó at Ciudadanos and in recent years he has dedicated himself to fabricating and spreading hoaxes on social networks, where he has a large community of followers and some forms of payment.

Of the other two MEPs from Se Acabó la Fiesta, Diego Solier has not submitted a declaration of interests. In the case of Nora Junco, she declares 45,000 euros in 2023 in a marketing, communication and events company and 44,000 euros in 2022 as manager of that company. She also declares 13,805 euros in hospitality and events at Bling Castellana.

The group led by Alvise Pérez, which has raised an anti-immigration and anti-feminist discourse and against an alleged political and media “mafia”, won three seats in the European elections with the support of more than 800,000 voters, 4.6% of the total.

Like the rest of the MEPs, Alvise Pérez made his debut in the European Parliament on Tuesday during the constituent session in which Roberta Metsola was elected as president. Se Acabó la Fiesta has been left among the non-registered members after failing to reach an agreement to join the most extreme group in the European Parliament led by Alternative for Germany. Alvise Pérez was in negotiations until the last moment before the group was formed and has not ruled out joining one of the three extreme right groups.

On his first day in public in the European Parliament, Alvise Pérez has accused Von der Leyen’s government of increasingly resembling “the Soviet Union rather than a true Europe of nations” and has stated that his intention is to “combine” his work as a MEP with the launching of a party to “get into Moncloa” or on which anyone who wants to get into government depends. “As soon as general elections are called, I will resign as a MEP and stand for the next general elections,” he said in Strasbourg.
