Claudiu Manda, secretar general PSD, e pe locul 2 în topul celor mai mari chiulangii din Parlamentul European • Newsweek România

Claudiu Manda, a Romanian MEP from PSD, ranks second for the highest absenteeism in the European Parliament, with a participation rate of just over 25%. This reflects a broader trend of low engagement among Romanian voters in European elections. Manda defends his record by emphasizing the importance of effectiveness over mere attendance statistics. Alongside him, two other Romanian MEPs also appear in the top ten for absenteeism. Despite his low attendance, Manda receives a substantial salary and additional benefits as an MEP.
