The ECR Group remains united in fighting against all forms of extremism and totalitarian ideology in Europe and abroad.
We strongly condemn totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, the glorification of Nazism and Communism, and the display of any such symbols and gestures.
The ECR Group was founded in 2009 on the fundamental EU values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights. These values are enshrined in the Prague Declaration and lay at the core of our work and conduct in the European Parliament.
We take very seriously the accusations brought against Mr. Dzhambazki following his behaviour in the plenary chamber.
We are conducting an internal investigation and awaiting the European Parliament’s ruling on the matter. Based on this information, the ECR Group will decide on the appropriate course of action.
