27/10/2015 (Agence Europe) - Sanctions confirmed against Korwin-Mikke and Buonanno. The European Parliament Bureau, consisting of its President and 14 Vice-Presidents, decided on Monday evening to confirm the sanctions which Parliament's President imposed on Polish MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke (NA, Poland) and Italian MEP Gianluca Buonanno (Northern League) on 14 October. Messrs Korwin-Mikke and Buonanno have been suspended from participating in all activities of Parliament's official bodies for ten consecutive days (without prejudice to the right to vote in plenary) and will have to pay a fine of €3,060. In July 2015, Korwin-Mikke raised his arm in a Nazi salute and Buonanno wore a T-shirt bearing an image of Chancellor Merkel combined with parts of an image of Adolf Hitler. (LC)
