Unmasking Qatar’s High-Stakes Influence Campaign in Brussels
The Qatargate scandal shook the European Parliament in December 2022, when Belgian police discovered 150,000 euros in cash at Eva Kaili’s Brussels apartment. Digging deeper revealed an elaborate web of bribes: political staffers, MEPs, and entire election campaigns all taking Qatari money. Instead of championing Europe’s democracy, they apparently sold it out piece by piece.
Portugal's former Ambassador to Qatar says that Qatar planned to buy the largest bull-fighting arena in Barcelona and turn it into a huge, Islamist mosque.
He argues that Qatar is using its billions from gas exports to chase their dream of reestablishing the Caliphate again.
