Pressure mounting on Jean-Claude Juncker to resign as president of Brussels EU Commission

In late October, only a matter of days before being installed as the new president of the Brussels EU Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker was forced into an embarrassing u-turn over his plan to put the interests of the pharmaceutical industry at the heart of European health policy decisions. Now however, faced with damaging document leaks regarding secret tax avoidance schemes for multinational corporations in Luxembourg introduced under his controversial tenure as Prime Minister there, pressure is mounting for him to resign. Accused of hypocrisy given that he is now head of the very European executive body supposedly in charge of investigating the covert tax practices of multinationals, his trustworthiness has once again fallen under deep suspicion.

The growing calls for Juncker’s resignation have already gained heavyweight media support. Particularly notable in this regard is an article on the Bloomberg View website, the editorial division of the Bloomberg international news agency, the title of which openly states that “Jean-Claude Juncker Needs to go”. No stranger to media scandal, in his former role as head of the Eurogroup, the main forum for the management of the euro currency zone, Juncker was widely described as the “master of lies”.

Whilst, in defending himself against these latest accusations, Juncker claims to have “the democratic support of European citizens”, this is demonstrably delusional on three counts. Firstly, he wasn’t directly elected by the people of Europe and was only able to assume the position of president of the Commission following a convoluted decision process involving the European Parliament and the so-called European Council. In addition, the May 2014 European Parliament election that he cites as the source of his democratic mandate saw the lowest voter turnout on record with only slightly over 42 percent of the European electorate choosing to participate. Finally, and arguably most damning of all for his democratic credibility, despite the Brussels EU having opaquely dictated, prior to the election, that when choosing their candidates for the European Parliament voters would simultaneously be selecting the Commission president, polls show that only around 5 percent of the European electorate were either even aware of this or motivated by it. This is hardly surprising, of course, as Juncker’s name didn’t appear on a single ballot paper.

The people of Europe have clearly shown they reject the undemocratic machinations of the Brussels EU dictatorship. It is therefore time for Juncker to stand down and the creation of a better Europe to begin.

Paul Anthony Taylor

Executive Director of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and one of the coauthors of our explosive book, “The Nazi Roots of the ‘Brussels EU'”, Paul is also our expert on the Codex Alimentarius Commission and has had eye-witness experience, as an official observer delegate, at its meetings.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Paul's background was in the music industry, where he worked as a keyboard player and programmer with artists including Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas, and Primal Scream.

He first became interested in natural health after falling ill with a chronic fatigue syndrome-related disorder in 1991 and subsequently making a full recovery through the use of natural health therapies. After meeting Dr. Rath and Dr. Niedzwiecki at an anti-Codex rally in Berlin in 2002, Paul was inspired to make a life-changing decision to leave the music industry to work for the Foundation and help defend the right of patients worldwide to have free access to natural health approaches.

Der Executive Director der Dr. Rath Health Foundation ist einer der Koautoren des explosiven Buchs „Die Nazi-Wurzeln der Brüsseler EU“. Paul ist auch unser Experte zum Thema „Codex Alimentarius-Kommission“ und hat Augenzeugenerfahrung als offizieller beobachtender Teilnehmer bei diesen Treffen.

Bevor er seine Arbeit bei der Stiftung antrat war Paul in der Musikindustrie aktiv. Er arbeitete als Keyboard-Spieler und Programmierer mit Künstlern wie Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas und Primal Scream.

Sein Interesse an natürlicher Gesundheit wuchs, als er 1991 an Störungen erkrankte, die aus einem chronischen Erschöpfungssyndrom resultierten. Durch natürliche Gesundheitstherapien wurde er schließlich vollständig geheilt. Ein Treffen 2002 mit Dr. Rath und Dr. Niedzwiecki bei einer Anti-Codex-Demonstration in Berlin inspirierte ihn zu einer lebensverändernden Entscheidung und er verließ die Musikindustrie um für die Stiftung zu arbeiten und das Recht der Patienten zu verteidigen, weltweit freien Zugang zu natürlichen Gesundheitsverfahren zu haben.
