Bulgarian MEP fined โ‚ฌ2,000 for appearing to give Nazi salute

Angel Dzhambazki claimed he was waving goodbye and says he will challenge the decision.

A nationalist Bulgarian MEP who appeared to give a Nazi salute inside the European Parliament was fined over โ‚ฌ2,000 on Tuesday, but he said he would challenge the decision.

Angel Dzhambazki, from the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, appeared to make the gesture back in February after engaging in a debate about an EU court ruling that said the European Commission is allowed to cut funds to countries that breach rule-of-law standards.

At the time, he slammed the court decision, arguing it was more about โ€œhate for nation states,โ€ and praised Bulgarian, Polish and Hungarian leaders who have faced scrutiny over rule-of-law issues. As he then went to leave the chamber, he turned to face the chair and held his arm out straight and stiff toward the chair.
