Senior MEP Maria Arena quit her role as chair of the European Parliament’s subcommittee on human rights, blaming attacks by journalists and political rivals amid the continued Qatargate corruption scandal.
Her resignation came hours after POLITICO published an in-depth investigation into the committee, which revealed Arena had failed properly to declare free flights and accommodation she received from Qatar. The president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, has been informed of Arena’s decision, an EU official said.
