Independent: "The accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union will be recorded in history as a glad moment for the continent. But in the short term it has brought about one unfortunate consequence. The entrance of six reactionary Romanian and Bulgarian representatives to the European Parliament means that the far-right parties of the continent now control enough seats to form a recognised political group. This will go under the faintly sinister name of the Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty Group.
Thankfully, there is little sign that the ITS will be able to organise itself properly. Its leader, Bruno Gollnish, is awaiting trial on charges of Holocaust denial. And its members - ranging from Jean-Marie Le Pen and Alessandra Mussolini to Ashley Mote, formerly of the UK Independence Party - have little in common other than a generalised xenophobia. Most actually voted against the very Romanian and Bulgarian accession that has enabled them to form a recognised group."
