Monika Hohlmeier

Monika Hohlmeier is a Member of the European Parliament, specifically involved in the Haushaltskontrollausschuss (Committee on Budgetary Control). She is newsworthy due to her committee's recent actions regarding EU funding for both Hungary and Slovakia. Regarding Hungary, concerns have been raised about the presence of a Russian employee within the OSCE mission in Hungary, potentially influencing discussions with Hungarian civil society. Simultaneously, Hohlmeier's committee has called on the EU Commission to initiate a procedure to protect the EU budget against Slovakia, following concerns about the Fico government's actions, including the dismissal of corruption investigators and threats to whistleblowers. This highlights Hohlmeier's role in overseeing the proper use of EU funds and addressing potential risks to democratic processes and financial integrity within member states.
