@GoulardSylvie Goulard wins a solid smattering of applause after a contrite opening statement where she expressed "regret" at that her relationship with Berggueren institute and asks MEPs to presume her innocent until proven guilty of fraud
@GoulardSylvie Goulard compares her sprawling portfolio topics to having lots of children. "Some will demand more attention than others". @vonderleyen will sympathise
30 min suspension of #UCU18 is up. National Head of Democratic Services (staff member) has come back (not elected President) to tell us staff not willing to come back in yet: we've been told Congress cannot continue. Bedlam now as ppl work out if absent chair can be challenged >>
Being argued rules allow for #UCU2018 Congress2continue in these circs but mics are off. Impossible to hear properly. Also being proposed can't have proper Congress now, so could have a discussion about what's going on instead. Counterargument "Go Congress or go home" 🤦🏻♀️
Staff working at venue have confirmed mics can't be turned on as Unite walkout means the ppl they've been working with aren't wiling to return. Delegates attempting human mic. Discussing continuing #UCU2018 Congress vs discussion way fwd noting democratic issue + quorum (150)
