Millionaire Commission.

Open Europe have revealed that each outgoing EU Commissioner will be receiving a €1.1m golden goodbye. The Commission’s Swedish Vice-President Margot Wallstrom will receive around €2.05m.

The payouts fall under “transitional” and “resettlement” allowances, as well as pension payouts for the EU’s most loyal subjects. Open Europe predicts that the 20 officials who are expected to leave their posts this autumn will receive a total of €26m in payouts.

And meanwhile in the real world, ordinary people continue to get laid off and forced to live on a pittance.
