This is of course a style Romaine=> Wikimedia shit story from the first category. (German)
What happend according to our pirates?
I wil tell you in my one words what happend because much of it is in (spoken) German.
Well, a pirate named Gilles Bordelais, a office clerk of the Pirate Party in Brussels should have sexual harassed a woman, what is still investigated by a department of the European Parliament. The incident should, according to Reda, has happend months ago and had cost her team so much time and energy that it could be the reason the complete article13 campaign has failed. It had even hurt the staff psychical. (videolink I have given before, German)
Julia Reda has resigned she told in that same video statement and is now a ex-pirate. Why? Because Bordelais is the second person on the candidate list of the pirate Party, and it is impossible to change that list, so Jullia Reda has has given the advice to her fans don't vote for the pirate party and has destroyed in this way all the goodwill they had build up in the past time. And the party has thanked her for her good work in a different statement.
It seems if someone is accepted on a party list for the European elections it is impossible to change that afterwards. You can't withdraw yourself, you can't change with someone else, that is what they write in there statements and I have no reason to believe that is not true. And it is a investigation by a EU department but Bordelais is not find guilty till now.
And that is the story and draw your one conclusions and keep in mind I am a Dutchman how has to reproduce a incident in German in English.
