Cathargate: Marie Arena’s relationship with Puncheri and a phone call from Kylie

Today’s article in the newspaper “Le Soir” is devoted to the relationship of the Belgian MEP Marie Arena with Antonio Pancheri, as well as the phone call received first from Eva Kylie.

Belgian edition.

“Antonio Panzeri was a colleague from a previous term, he is also a friend,” Marie Arena replied on December 11 to Suaru.

When asked about her current relationship with Pancheri, president and founder of the non-governmental organization Fighting Impunity, the Belgian MEP now prefers to speak of a “professional friendship.”

“Eva Kylie panicked me”

The paper goes on to say that “On December 9, Eva Kaili reaches out to this long-time friend Antonio Panzeri, fearing that she will not be able to contact either her partner or the former MEP.”

“At first I tried to call Panzeri, who only speaks Italian, but I couldn’t find him,” Eva Kaili told investigators shortly after her arrest, according to Suar.

“Then I tried to contact Mark Tarabella and Marie Arena. They replied that they did not know why Puncheri did not answer. Pancheri doesn’t speak English, I prefer to communicate with him through his friends,” Ms Kylie reportedly added, according to the specific article.

“Yes, Eva Kylie called me,” confirms Marie Arena, notes Suar. “I was at a conference at UCL and couldn’t understand what he was saying. I just told her to stay calm and wait for things to clear up. My guess is that she panicked and approached the Belgian MPs in her group,” he added.
