Brussels whistleblower stops party

MEP Paul van Buitenen, who as a Brussels civil servant leaked information on corruption which led to the downfall of the entire European Commission in 1999, is giving up his political party Europa Transparant.


Instead Van Buitenen is to switch allegiance to the orthodox Dutch Christian party ChristenUnie.
