A main purpose of Council is to hold the Management Board to account. If the MB outnumbers Council then that duty could be problematic.
In that sense, at least, Council is not functioning.
I also fail to see what is wrong with the MB discussing the accounts in the first instance. At the same meeting it would be reasonable to discuss getting additional members of Council before having that body approve the outstanding business. There is at least one person who has indicated a desire to be on Council.
Of course all meetings would be shorter and therefore more attractive if arguments did not contain inaccuracies which had to be refuted. It is correct that members have the right to question matters but all discussion should be based on accurate information and proven facts.
