A BULGARIAN MP has called for an investigation into how his signature was on a document lodged by Libertas with the European Parliament seeking recognition and funding.

THE European Parliament last night postponed officially recognising the Libertas party after receiving a letter from the founder Declan Ganley.

EUROPEAN Parliament members want all those purported to have supported Libertas in its bid for EU funding to be interviewed following doubts about a signatory on the application for party recognition.

THE European Parliament is reconsidering its decision to recognise Libertas as a pan-European party and give them a grant of €200,000 for this year after some doubt about one of Libertas’s sponsors.

A fresh controversy has erupted over attempts by Libertas to set itself up as a Europe-wide political force.
