Statement by Nigel Farage MEP (UKIP), Presdient of the EFD Group in the European Parliament, Brussels, 2 March 2010.

www.ukipmeps.org

UKIP MEP Nigel Farage was informed this afternoon by Jerzy Buzek, president of the European Parliament, that he had decided to fine him €3000 for his comments relating to Herman van Rompuy and Belgium.

The fine represents 10 days pay, and is the maximum allowable under the rules of the European Parliament. Mr Buzek imposed it after Mr Farage declined earlier today to apologise for his comments.

Mr Farage said, "Free speech is an expensive business in the European Parliament."

He announced that he intended to appeal against his sentence.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH The dutch queen is a bilderberger as Van Rompuy is too; under the table they decided, without any European consent, to put him in the seat for EU President.

    THAT is what they got to do with each other.

    They are all a bunch of scumbags. Dictators

  • @sswemmer

    What does the Dutch Queen have to do with a Belgian politician?

  • Van Rompuy is a damn damp rag; and should pull his head from between Queen Beatrix's legs

  • love it love it love it. You Mr Farage are the only hope for Britain and the only hope for Europe for that matter

  • The only ones that need to apologise for the situation in Belgium are the incompetent ministers that want to cling to their bountifull wages and 'bonuses', also the idiots or ignorants that allowed them to govern though.

    Personally I hope that soon Belgium bursts, so the northern part finally can work for itself instead of the southern part.

  • Thumbs for from Poland Mr Farage!!! Europe had better wake up from this romantic illusion. Otherwise it's gonna be suicidal for us....Hundreds of thousends people out of job, with milions struggeling to make ends meet... Abolish the facist state!!! Greetings to all who oppose the mainstream lies.

  • Don't bother apologising to us "Belgians" this so call nation is nothing but a illusion must like the EU - freedom for the Flemish north.

  • Mr. Farage thank you from the U.S. for saying it like it is. Euro and U.S. socialists need to be called out for who they are.

  • Utmost support from Serbia... Mr. Farage, you are my sole political hero of all along with Olof Palme (ex prime minister) from Sweden!!!

    please keep it up, I don't want to live in a dictatorship

    greetings to all

  • Nice work Mr. Farage! ! Stand for us!!! the people of Europe
