The Rise of The Right in Europe
Leave a comment »
The Independent reports that there is a rising tide of ultra rightists that are being swept into power in the European parliament.
Amid formal protests and jeers in the Strasbourg Parliament, 20 MEPs
yesterday signed up to the new formation called Identity, Tradition,
Sovereignty (ITS). As a formal group, they are entitled to up to €1m in
central funding. It is led by Bruno Gollnisch of France's National Front,
who is awaiting a court verdict on charges of Holocaust denial.
