Following his sacking, Luca Visentini stated that he “deeply regrets” the confederation’s decision.
The head of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), Luca Visentini, was ousted from his position on Saturday by the Union over a corruption case within the European Parliament.
The union body said it had lost confidence in the leader, noting that the General Council decided to hold an extraordinary meeting to elect his successor “as soon as is practicable.”
In a statement, the confederation vowed to carry out amendments to its regulations regarding “the financing of campaigns for ITUC leadership elections, and on financial compliance.”
