Alessandra Mussolini Alessandra Mussolini May Cause European Fascists To Implode Very upsetting news is coming out of Europe.

Alessandra Mussolini the grand daughter of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini (who started life as a topless model and has now turned her hand to politics) has been making remarks about Romanians that her fellow fascists in the European Parliament are finding rather xenophobic:

“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”.

Five Romanian MEPs have threatened to quit over the “sacrilegious” remarks.

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

The Romanian MEPs’ move would take the far-right bloc’s membership below the minimum required for a grouping in the parliament.

The Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty (ITS) grouping was created in January, after the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the EU boosted the number of far-right MEPs in the European parliament.

A statement from the Greater Romania party MEPs, circulated by e-mail in the European parliament, said the party could have no further dealings with Ms Mussolini.

The party’s MEPs accused Ms Mussolini of insulting Romanians, citing a newspaper interview she had given in which she said “breaking the law has become a way of life for Romanians”.

The newspaper also quoted Ms Mussolini as saying Italians saw little difference between Romanian immigrants and Roma (Gypsies).

The Greater Romania party has itself campaigned on a fiercely nationalistic, anti-Roma platform.

The expulsions followed an outcry over the murder of an Italian woman, blamed on a Roma migrant from Romania.”

The European parliament only grants official status to political groups that can claim a minimum of 20 members from at least six countries.

The withdrawal of five Romanian MEPs, from the country’s Greater Romania party, would leave the ITS with only 18 members, effectively disqualifying it as an official group.” (Source: BBC News)

Oh dear it seems there is no honour amongst fascists nowadays. Maybe Alessandra Mussolini can go back to stripping for a career as it is patently obvious that politics is not her forte.
