Four days from 14 to 17 November at the Altiero Spinelli building of the European Parliament, named after one of its founders European Unionheld a technology conference called “European Tech Summit”. It was organized by the European Parliament on the initiative of a Greek woman. Eva Kyliewho until then continued to enjoy a carefree life.

An announcement posted on its website states that “Eva Kaili, Vice-President of the European Parliament, has the honor to invite you to an event held in parallel with the DG Technology Innovation Week (DG ITEC)”.

This particular initiative, as well as several others with the subject of new technologies, cryptocurrencies, etc., would not have aroused any suspicion at all if the revelations of the Qatargate scandal had not intervened and if she herself had not delivered a fiery speech at that conference. in favor of the need to use certain software that is sold and promoted by Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher.

This is software that indiscriminately scans all Internet chats for child pornography files.

Responding to concerns about personal data breaches and e-privacy that were raised at the conference and beyond, Ms Kylie noted that “it’s very important to turn your back on those who raise privacy issues. I refuse to believe that I have to choose between privacy and child protection.”

After her arrest on December 9, many remembered not only her mention from the floor of the European Parliament about Qatar’s progress in the field of labor rights, but also a particularly warm speech in favor of using this particular software.

Moreover, the atmosphere in which the conference took place was described in an elegant report by the German Netzpolitik, which defines itself as “the media for digital rights and freedoms”. “Eva Kylie thanked Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher for his recurring commitment to the point of embarrassment.”

In recent days, the names of those involved in ElonTech have been removed from the organization’s official page. On the Made Group website, on the contrary, the name of Madalena Kylie remains.

The official message posted on the website of Eva Kaili states that the events (including the conference) are organized by MEPs of various political shades, as well as a number of organizations. Among them, the one with the ElonTech brand stands out. Its website states that it is supported by Made Group, a non-profit company registered with the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In recent days, the names of those involved in ElonTech have been removed from the organization’s official page. On the Made Group website, on the contrary, the name of Eva Kailis’ sister, Madalena, remained.

The latter, according to reports in the Greek and foreign press, owns 90% of the shares of Made Group and therefore controls ElonTech. An organization that participated in events organized by Eva Kaili, prosecuted for corruption and money laundering, as a member of the European Parliament and under the auspices of the European Parliament.

ElonTech’s latest public event, the Athens Roundtable, took place at the European Parliament in Brussels on 1 and 2 December.

At noon on the first day, Ms. Eva Kaili interrupted her attendance at the conference to visit the European Parliament’s LIBE Human Rights Committee, whose members voted to abolish the visa regime for Qatari citizens traveling to the European Union.

Although the Greek MEP was not a member of the committee, she took part in the vote without first consulting the leadership of the European Social Democrats, as required by procedures.

The “non-standard” presence of Eva Kaili in the LIBE committee did not go unnoticed by the leadership of the European Socialist Democrats. Information “K” states that there was an internal directive to the bodies of the deputy group “not to allow Eva to participate in the commissions.” In addition, Spanish MEP and head of the Irace parliamentary group, Garthia Pérez, after consulting with PASOK President Nikos Androulakis, called Kylie on December 12 for an explanation.

The meeting never took place, because on the morning of Friday, December 9, an influential Greek politician was taken to the office of the federal judicial police in Brussels, and then ended up in Aren prison near the Belgian capital. Late on Thursday evening, the Judicial Council of Brussels decided to extend her detention. Apologies were preceded by the presence of her lawyers Andre Risopoulos and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, but the Greek politician was unable to convince members of the judicial council of his innocence.
