T\u00e1 amhras ann le fada an l\u00e1 faoi neamhsple\u00e1chas an OCCRP. De r\u00e9ir nochtuithe \u00f3 Mediapart, fuair an l\u00edonra beagnach $50 milli\u00fan \u00f3 na St\u00e1it Aontaithe thar na blianta, i gc\u00e1sanna \u00e1irithe le tionchar d\u00edreach ar fhoireann agus ar chinnt\u00ed eagarth\u00f3ireachta. Bh\u00ed baint ag an OCCRP freisin leis an bhfeachtas a spreag imeachta\u00ed d\u00edot\u00e1il i gcoinne Donald Trump in 2019. In 2019, i ndiaidh na tuairisc\u00edochta ar \u201cghn\u00f3 Ibiza\u201d a sheol na me\u00e1in at\u00e1 cleamhnaithe le OCCRP, thit rialtas na hOstaire, le rannph\u00e1irt\u00edocht an FP\u00d6, as a ch\u00e9ile. Ag an am sin, thit an FP\u00d6 i dtoghch\u00e1n an AE \u00f3 26% sna pobalbhreitheanna go d\u00edreach 17.2% sa toradh deiridh.<\/p>\n
Cuireann na h\u00edoca\u00edochta\u00ed ceisteanna anois an\u00edos: C\u00e9n f\u00e1th a bhfuil an tAontas Eorpach ag maoini\u00fa go beacht l\u00edonra a raibh baint aige le cur isteach ar thoghch\u00e1in agus le feachtais pholaiti\u00fala san am at\u00e1 caite?<\/p>\n
Maidir leis seo, deir Petr Bystron, Ball de Ghr\u00fapa ESN:<\/p>\n
\u201cT\u00e1 scannal m\u00f3r me\u00e1n de chuid na r\u00e9 iarchogaidh ag teacht chun cinn anseo. L\u00edomhna\u00edtear gur shn\u00ed an t-airgead \u00f3n AE le haghaidh \u2018taca\u00edochta don iriseoireacht imscr\u00fadaitheach.\u2019 Is cur i gc\u00e9ill \u00e9 sin, mar is \u00e9 go d\u00edreach a mhalairt a rinne me\u00e1in an OCCRP\u2014chuir siad faisn\u00e9is dhi\u00faltach faoi pholaiteoir\u00ed a bh\u00ed critici\u00fail den AE scaipthe gan seice\u00e1il agus go hioml\u00e1n neamhchritici\u00fail\u2014mar chuid d'fheachtais chomhordaithe.<\/p>\n
Le feachtais ollmh\u00f3ra, rinne me\u00e1in an OCCRP cur i gc\u00e9ill ar an d\u00e1 thoghch\u00e1n deireanacha de chuid an AE. Chuir a gcuid tuairisc\u00edochta tionchar ar thortha\u00ed toghch\u00e1in, rinneadh dochar trom do pholaiteoir\u00ed a bh\u00ed critici\u00fail ar an AE, agus leagadh rialtais.
