It was not rejected, it was accepted. The vote to use some of the
money for an OPW intern passed on the 11th November 2014. At the end,
it didn't matter because Marina was able to find an external sponsor
for that intern.

I don't want to speak for Tobias but I think it is fair to assume in this case that he was suggesting that "accepting" his idea would have involved agreeing to spend at least some the money on interns - which seems like a nice idea! What are the other ideas on how to spend this money?
