THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Two prominent Euroskeptic politicians united Wednesday in a bid to form a bloc in the European Parliament next year to "liberate Europe from the monster of Brussels." The EU's economic malaise has fueled a rise in Euroskepticism among voters who question whether the grand idea of one continent, one market, one currency is capable of delivering prosperity for all. Jean-Marie Le Pen has been convicted and fined for racism and anti-Semitism, but his daughter has sought to soften the party's message and turned its anger toward what she calls the "Islamization" of France. Currently the largest two blocs at the European Parliament are the center-right European People's Party, made up of Christian Democrats, which has 275 seats, followed by the center-left Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, which has 194 seats.
