Pirate Party Protests Fascism As Nazis Enter Parliament
The recent elections to the European Parliament saw many fascist parties entering the European Union’s own parliament. In France, National Front – whose founder a couple of weeks ago proposed the Ebola virus as a “solution to the European immigration problem” – became the largest political party of the country. Poland’s party Congress of the New Right, which strives to abolish the right to vote for women and prohibit disabled people from using public spaces, reached 7 percent of the vote. And for the first time since the 1930’s, Nazis who cheer for Hitler and murder political opponents have been elected from Germany and Greece in a democratic parliament in Europe, as the German NDP and the Greece Golden Dawn entered the European Parliament.
