A Bulgarian MEP could be sanctioned after making what appears to be the Nazi salute in the European Parliament.
Angel Dzhambazki, of the Eurosceptic ECR group, made the gesture after a debate following yesterday's ECJ conditionality mechanism ruling.
MEPs from across the political spectrum have condemned the move.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that "a fascist salute in the European parliament is unacceptable to me — always and everywhere."
"That gesture is from the darkest chapter of our history and must be left there," she added.
Dzhambazki has denied making a Nazi salute.
He said in a statement that he was waving in apology for something provocative he had said during the debate.
