In protest at the electoral success in France of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French EU commissioner speaking in Brussels, Bertrand Maginot has expressed his outrage and concern.
“This is unacceptable and contrary to all democratic European principles” said Monsieur Maginot who took the opportunity to formally announce the imposition of trade sanctions on himself.
Camped in his apartment in Brussels Monsieur Maginot has refused all food, provisions and even a change of clothing. He is forced to stay in Brussels because he also banned himself from travelling.
Asked how long he intends to persist with the sanctions, Monsieur Maginot replied:
“Until I come to my senses”
