A meeting between European lawmakers and MPs from the Russian State Duma on Wednesday sparked condemnation among other MEPs, who said it violated the European Parliament's rules and demanded swift disciplinary measures.
Pina Picierno, the Italian socialist MEP and European Parliament vice president, told Euronews that, according to the rules, all members must act solely in the general interest of the EU and should not bring the European Parliament into disrepute through their conduct.
