Romania and Bulgaria's 'contributions' to Europe started immediately and can be expected to continue apace. Thanks to the fascists in these new EU members, the xenophobic, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic far right now has the necessary numbers to form a group in the European Parliament.

According to the Guardian newspaper, Bulgaria's quota of European Parliament seats includes one held by the extreme right Ataka Party of Volen Siderov, which campaigns against Gypsies or Roma and Turks, while Romania has supplied a breakthrough for the hard right by gaining five seats for Corneliu Vadim Tudor's anti-Hungarian, anti-Semitic and anti-Roma Greater Romanian Party. It is these gentlemen and their cohorts that European neo-fascism has to thank. "
