New European Parliament Convenes

STRASBOURG, FRANCE - JULY 2: Italian MEP Alessandra Mussolini (Benito Mussolini's granddaughter and Sophia Loren's niece) speaks in the plenary room in the european parliament ahead of the beginning of the six-month Italian presidency of the European council on July 2, 2014 in Strasbourg, France. The European parliament convened yesterday for the first time since the European elections which saw a surge in non-affiliated Eurosceptic MEP's. The German Socialist Schulz will serve a second term as president of the European Parliament even though the European People's Party (EPP) won the most seats in the European Union assembly.
