Socialists in EU parliament urge Euro MPs to block jobs for far right

Socialist Group leader Martin Schulz called for MEPs to prevent a new far-Right group from securing senior positions in the European Parliament.

Immediately after the announcement of the 20-member group's formation, Mr Schulz wrote to leaders of the parliament's democratic groups, urging them to deny the new group posts under the proportional d'Hondt system of appointment. In his letter Mr Schulz says: "We must not abandon this Parliament, which symbolises the integration of Europe, to those who deny all European values."
