No complaint has been filed against Vautmans with the European Parliament for the time being. She herself does not want to respond to VRT NWS. She did that at TV Limburg. There she says that she has never received a formal complaint about a toxic working atmosphere, but that she may have underestimated the pressure on the young people within her team. Regarding the misuse of European funds, she says that she has always followed the rules.
She calls the accusation that her neighbor was paid with European money for manual services abhorrent. “Marc has been deceased for 2 years now. He was registered under the status of ‘local assistant’, someone who has to assist me mentally. He drove with me for long distances and, as a former soldier, advised me in military matters. He has become a friend of the family and considered my son his grandson, but everything he did was according to the rules.”
