We do not remember our hosting at the time any visit of EU parliamentarians to look into the following landmark cases:1. None of these sensational cases merited a visit by an EU delegation, or even a letter of concern from the European parliament. This appears to suggest that the European parliament, and some of its members, are taking sides in our national politics. That relationship and that assistance, however, do not empower the European parliament to meddle in our affairs and our politics. While the current EU visit has been characterized as a “fact- sharing” mission, this does not excuse the act of meddling.
