Nezavisni zastupnik u Europskom parlamentu Mislav Kolakušić poslao je pismo svim zastupnicima Europskog parlamenta u kojem je upozorio na činjenicu da Europski parlament već mjesecima radi nekvalitetno i da se zastupnicima na sve moguće načine onemogućava normalan rad.
“Zastupnik građana u EU parlamentu koji želi pošteno i maksimalno odraditi svoj posao na svom radnom mjestu u Bruxellesu te barem 5 danaprovesti s obitelji u matičnoj zemlji, mora se 10 puta podvrgnuti PCR testu i provesti 25 dana u karanteni i tako svaki mjesec.
Mjesecima se promovira rad od kuće i otežava normalan rad. Slijedom toga moramo si postaviti pitanje je li donošenje odluka o milijardama eura europskih građana i upravljanje Unijom s pola milijarde stanovnika moguće obavljati jednako kvalitetno online kao i kada su svi zastupnici fizički prisutni na svojim radnim mjestima?
Ukoliko je odgovor da se online radom od kuće na potpuno jednaki način uz istu kvalitetu rada ostvaruju isti rezultati kao i kad su zastupnici fizički prisutni na svom radnom mjestu u Bruxellesu, onda je jedino logično i odgovorno prema građanima prodati zgrade parlamenta i vratiti novac građanima EU, jer nema potrebe niti u daljnjoj budućnosti za fizičkom prisutnosti u fizičkim zgradama.
Ukoliko je odgovor da se online radom od kuće ne može na potpuno jednaki način ostvariti ista kvalitetu rada i isti rezultati kao i kad su zastupnici fizički prisutni na svom radnom mjestu u Briselu, onda treba prestati na svaki mogući način otežavati zastupnicima dolazak na naša radna mjesta.
Ovim pismom ne želim odreći pravo na izbor svakog zastupnika koji želi raditi od kuće u slijedećim mjesecima ili do kraja mandata.
Moralna dužnost mi je upoznati Vas sa studijom znanstvenika sa sveučilišta Stanford: Eran Bendavid, Christopher Oh, Jay Bhattacharya, John P.A. Ioannidis, koji su nakon provedene analize dokazali da primjene lockdowna u Engleskoj, Francuskoj, Njemačkoj, Italiji, Iranu, Nizozemskoj, Španjolskoj, SAD-u, Južnoj Koreji i Švedskoj nisu pokazali jasnu i važnu ulogu u smanjenju broja slučajeva u tim zemljama.
Prijevod na Engleski jezik
Let’s sell Parliament’s buildings – Let’s return the money to EU citizen
LET’S WORK FROM HOME – LET’S SELL PARLIAMENT’S BUILDINGS – LET’S RETURN THE MONEY TO EU CITIZENS
Citizens’ representatives in the European Parliament who want to do their job honestly and give their best in their workplaces in Brussels and spend at least five days with their families in their home countries must undergo a PCR test 10 times and spend 25 days in quarantine. And this procedure is repeated every month.
Working from home has been promoted and normal work has been made increasingly difficult for months now. As a result of this, we must ask ourselves whether decisions on billions of euros of European citizens can be made and whether managing a Union with more than half a billion people can be done online with the same quality as when MEPs are physically present in their workplaces.
If the answer is that online work from home achieves precisely the same results as when MEPs are physically present in their workplaces in Brussels, then it is only logical and responsible towards our citizens to sell Parliament’s buildings and to return the money to EU citizens, because there will be no need in the future either for MEPs to be physically present in physical buildings.
On the other side, if the answer is that online work from home cannot achieve precisely the same quality of work and the same results as when MEPs are physically present at their workplaces, then we should stop making it harder in every possible way for MEPs to come to their workplaces.
With this letter, I do not want to take away the right of Members of the Parliament to decide for themselves whether they want to work from home in the upcoming months or until the end of their term.
It is my moral duty to inform you about a study that was conducted by scientists from Stanford University: Eran Bendavid, Christopher Oh, Jay Bhattacharya, John P.A. Ioannidis.
Stanford study comparing Covid responses in different countries found “ no clear, significant beneficial effect of (more restrictive measures) on case growth in any country.”. The study investigated measures by England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, the U.S., South Korea and Sweden. The first eight countries imposed stay-at-home orders on residents while South Korea and Sweden took less restrictive steps. The researchers used a mathematical model to compare the countries.
