A Lithuanian MEP whose Facebook page features a video of him calling gays or transvestites “perverts” has been given until Thursday (14 January) to explain and apologise if he wants to stay in his political group.
Viktor Uspaskich, a leader of Lithuania’s populist Labour party and a member of the centrist Renew grouping in the European Parliament, published the live Facebook video on Sunday.
In it, he can be heard talking about individuals who “feel a certain inclination,” and stating: “Those who put their dick under a skirt and go into the street and shout, they are perverts, and such things must not be tolerated.”
