In an open letter, we have joined other organizations in calling for Aura Salla’s appointment as Digital Omnibus rapporteur to be withdrawn.

Before becoming an MEP, Ms Salla was an executive lobbyist at Meta, serving as its Public Policy Director and Head of EU Affairs. And here stated goal is "to cut EU digital regulation".

Therefore, she is not suitable for the job as rapporteur.

Governments MUST clear out Lobbyists of all kinds because they are destroying sdemocratic processes for Profits and to the detriment of the people.

@lobbyctrl_tech Even if she did work on Meta as a lobbyist, that is in the past. Is there any evidence that this would clearly affect her work now that she has left this position? Does she owe significant amount of shares on Meta or is she somehow influenced by this past job specifically? I would consider it a bad practice to cancel future job opportunities based on this kind of past positions unless there is evidence that it is clearly harmful for the new task.
