Acting upon a notification by the European Parliament administration and in respect of the EP Rules of Procedures, President Martin Schulz on the 9 March 2015 informed the European fraud-fighting office OLAF of possible financial irregularities by the French party Front National. The possible irregularities concern salaries paid from the EU budget to assistants to Members of the European Parliament. In response, Front National leader Marine Le Pen accused opponents of 'political manipulation', ahead of French local elections later in March 2015. |
