Scandal broke out in Europe over accusations of mass drug use by politicians

European Council President Charles Michel criticized Brussels Secretary of State for Urban Planning Pascal Smet for claiming that “Eurocrats” regularly use drugs.

Smet accused the Eurocrats of being addicted to cocaine and not wanting to move offices to a disadvantaged area because “the powder is not as pure there.”

So he commented on the indignation of European officials, dissatisfied with the plans of the European Commission to transfer several agencies from the EU quarter to the poorer northern quarter of Brussels with a criminal and drug reputation.

Smet hinted that in the EU quarter there is a large consumption of drugs (possibly cocaine), and in the new area “they also sell drugs – but probably not the same ones.”

A spokesman for Charles Michel called such statements “unacceptable.”

“President Michel asks for respect for all men and women in the service of the European Union, especially in these very challenging international times,” the statement said.

Michel denounced Smet’s comments after an open letter from the union of European officials, which called for “responding to the attacks”, “protecting the reputation, work and honor of EU officials.”
