Leading Socialist MEP says Gárda uniforms violate EP rules
The wearing of the Magyar Gárda uniform in the European Parliament is against House rules, according to MEP Martin Schultz, the head of the legislature's Socialist bloc.
Schultz is considered likely to replace newly elected Jerzy Buzek as President of the Parliament at the end of 2011.
Thursday's caucus meeting of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats condemned Csanád Szegedi, the Jobbik MEP who wore the uniform of the banned Magyar Gárda at the opening session on Tuesday.

The Socialist are annoying. Are they going to continue their assualt on the Magyar Gárda forever, don't they have real policies to get down to. Seems they need to draw attention away from their own problems.
AH-HAH!!
This is the very reason why I had a debate with Erik some time ago about the utterly inacurrate and plainly biased incorrect use of the term "paramilitary" for the MAgyar Gárda.
But the Left knew what they were up to, and simply used Lenin's dictum, "A lie told often enough becomes truth."
Schultz's objection is that the EP regulations ban the wearing of either military or paramilitary uniforms. And once more the "perception" will be sufficient proof; while the dicitionary is cast into the trash yet again.
"Add a few drops of malice to a half truth and you
have an absolute truth." Eric Hoffer
