Korwin-Mikke, leader of fringe party the Coalition of Polish Republic's Renewal Freedom and Hope, made the gesture in July in protest against a German-led bid to introduce integrated ticketing for travel across EU borders, including train and bus services.
As MEPs voted on a resolution in favour of the initiative, which advocates say would increase the use of public transport, Korwin-Mikke paraphased the Nazi German slogan of “ein volk, ein reich, ein Führer” (“one people, one empire, one leader”). (rg/rk)
