Hello Rosy,

Mario Borghezio, MEP of the League and, improbably, a member of the Committee on Civil Liberties has been suspended or at least all'autosospensione induced by the group 'Europe of freedom and democracy "in the exponent part of the Northern League.
The group of skeptics, conservatives and nationalists of the EFD has not appreciated at all racist expressions uttered by linking against the Italian Minister Cecile Kyenge and called for the expulsion getting, for now, the suspension.
Borghezio therefore nothing has been "suspended himself" as he himself said, "to protect the League and the Efd waiting to make full clarity on his phrases (" She's a bonga bonga ", name it" was a choice of cock " , ed.) The suspension has considerably, enormously helped that I launched the petition on the website Change.org and who got in a few days over 130 thousand signatures.
Monday, May 20th Parliament President Martin Schulz at the opening of the session expressed "shame" for statements of Borghezio citing the petition. When the next day we were received by the leaders of socialist and democratic, popular, Liberal, Greens, Communists different groups, expressed as much in unison shame for the exponent of the Northern League offensive statements against the Minister of Integration Kyenge we immediately thought that it was not a ritual encounter but a strong awareness and a real outrage of the majority of the European Parliament for the allegations of deputy of the Northern League.
The suspension Borghezio today by the EFD group is therefore your, our victory: 130 thousand citizens (all of you) that you wanted to sculpt a concept: "Racism out by the European Parliament."
This victory proves once again that a petition is not just a symbolic instrument of denunciation, it can change things, affect and even influence the debate of a massive institution like the European Parliament to cause the suspension of MEP by his group for its offensive statements.
It 'a victory that calls other, which should lead each of you to launch their campaigns on the website Change.org. "Because when you dream alone is only a dream - said in a statement maximum - but when you dream together is reality begins."
Full speed ahead (and all) with new petitions!
Thanks to all and everyone!
