An Italian MP and European
Parliament candidate, who belongs to the regionalist,
anti-immigrant Northern League, campaigned for the upcoming
election by blowing his nose in the European Union flag live on
television.
"A Europe commanded by banks, that doesn't care about
clandestine immigration and that has impoverished Italians with
its criminal coin disgusts me," Gianluca Buonanno told Italian
TV.
"The EU flag is only useful for blowing one's nose. As it
is it is gross. We must go to Europe to change the rules. Enough
with financial Nazism imposed by Angela Merkel," said Buonanno,
who grabbed an EU flag and blew his nose into it.
