DISINFO: The Brussels bureaucracy has not been elected by anyone

SUMMARY

The Brussels bureaucracy has not been elected by anyone.

RESPONSE

Selfevidently, if the claim concerns the bureaucrats - no, they are not elected as is the case in any similar system. If the claims concerns the politicians; the European Parliament is elected by the 500-million population of the EU and amounts to 751 MEPs. The Council of the European Union consists of ministers of all member states of the EU, from parties elected by their member states population. European Council is composed by the heads of government or heads of state of the member countries, elected by the parties their population voted for bit.ly/2kj5Zlo, , bit.ly/2jKazIx, .
