European Stability Mechanism, Legal Immunity Provisions
The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) treaty contains articles granting its governors and staff total immunity from judicial processes and legal proceedings. Article 32 and 35 ensure that the ESM's property and documents are "inviolable," effectively making the entity more sovereign than the member states it serves. In the Netherlands, Prime Minister Mark Rutte's pro-Europe party maintained power as Geert Wilders' euroskeptic party lost significant ground.
