Bullmann chairs Human Rights Committee

Udo Bullmann (SPD) has been elected Chairman of the Human Rights Committee in the European Parliament (DROI) with the votes of all members present. The 66-year-old succeeds Maria Arena (S&D), who resigned in the wake of the Eva Kaili corruption affair. She was forced to admit that she had attended a human rights conference in Doha and had her expenses reimbursed by the Gulf state.
