With just six weeks to go until European Parliament elections, fresh revelations of suspected espionage at the legislature will do little to instill public confidence.
German MEP Maximilian Krah is in hot water after a string of allegations against him and his staffer. On Wednesday, Krah said he would stay on as lead candidate but would sack his assistant Jian G.
Parliamentarians themselves are all too aware of how all this looks to voters. 'This parliament is under a lot of urgency to clarify what has happened.'
