UK’s Nigel Farage and Brexit Party members staged a protest against the opening of the European Parliament by turning their backs during playing of the EU’s official anthem.
THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS
Several MEPs from the UK’s Liberal Democrat party attended the session wearing yellow t-shirts marked with the words “Stop Brexit,” and their European election campaign slogan, “Bollocks to Brexit.”
On the other end of the political spectrum, Brexit Party members, who are pushing for the UK’s departure from the European Union, turned their backs on musicians as they played the bloc’s anthem, “Ode to Joy.”
