EU far-right bloc faces collapse
Source: BBC

The European parliament's far-right bloc faces collapse after Romanian MEPs said they would quit over an Italian colleague's "xenophobic" remarks.

Italian MEP Alessandra Mussolini, the grand-daughter of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, reportedly described Romanians as "habitual law-breakers".

Italy recently expelled dozens of Romanian migrants suspected of criminal offences, following a murder in Rome.

2. GREAT news!
I had always though that far-RW nationalist groupings were problematic because by definition the far-RW nationalists from one country would regard all the others as bloody foreigners - BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Now the grouping is indeed breaking down, and it won't be missed! Yeah!!!!

7. fascists regard other nationalities/ethnicities as subhuman
There can only be one master race that must enslave all the others.

When you make inequality the cornerstone of your creed, by definition you preclude it from being universal
