Abir Al-Sahlani (C) reacted to celebrations by the far-right in the EU Parliament after a vote on stricter migration laws. She then faced online abuse from fellow parliamentarians.
Abir Al-Sahlani described the atmosphere in the plenary hall as unpleasant with high testosterone levels. She said the men waved their arms and chanted slogans.
She delivered a speech urging the speaker to intervene to ensure safety. Al-Sahlani stressed that the debate targeted a person rather than just political ideas.
Parliamentarians from the ECR Group responded with posts on social media. Kristoffer Storm wrote that she should go home. Al-Sahlani and her party have reported the statement to the speaker for disciplinary measures.
