EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici has conducted discussions with former UK prime minister Tony Blair and controversial billionaire George Soros, about a second Brexit referendum – but the European Commission is trying to keep them secret.
Moscovici, responsible for economic and financial affairs in the EU, met several politicians and business leaders at the sidelines of the annual World Economic Forum meeting 22nd — 25th January in the Swiss Alps. Subsequently, the Commission released a summary — dubbed “a quick readout of a day and a half of sub-zero speed-dating in Davos” — of who he met and what they discussed.
They added “everything is out in the light of the day for everyone to see and form an opinion” — but Moscovici’s meetings with Blair and Soros aren’t listed on the Commissioner’s register of ‘meetings with organisations and self-employed individuals’, three months after Forum event.
