She was led out of the hall to the applause of other deputies.

The leader of the Romanian far-right party “SOS Romania” Diana Sosoache was thrown out of the plenary session of the European Parliament . She wanted to “cleanse it of devils”.

As G4Media writes , she interrupted the plenary debate on the election of Ursula von der Leyen to a new mandate as head of the European Commission three times. After she tried to interrupt the speech of the member of parliament from the Rebirth group Valerie Hajer, the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola addressed her: “How many colleagues does it take to get you out of the room? I think you have said enough.”

Shoshoake accused Ursula von der Leyen of “killing people” before being escorted out of the plenary chamber to applause from MEPs, holding an icon above her head and shouting “In God we trust.”

Politico notes that the MP proposed calling a priest to bless the European Parliament and “cleanse it of devils.” “As in the Romanian Parliament, devils meet here. I will bring a priest to bless the offices and wherever I can. This is my right to religion, to express my religious faith,” Sosoache said.

She also claimed that Metsola “turned pale” when she saw her: “I went to see Mrs. Metsola. When she saw me, she turned white. I asked her for a meeting, she became whiter and whiter.”

Scandal in the European Parliament

Who is Diana Shoshoake

The politician is known for her anti-immigration and anti-vaccination stance. She has also made anti-Ukrainian statements.

Last year, the media reported that she proposed annexing part of the Ukrainian territories to Romania: Northern Bukovina, Hertza, Budjak (Cahul, Bolhrad, Izmail), historical Maramures and Snake Island.

She also shouted “Glory to Moscow!” and accused Ukraine of discriminating against the Romanian minority.
