The Guardian has apologized for mistaking Bulgarian nationalist MEP Dimitar Stoyanov with older and more leftwing politician, Dimitar Stoyanov Dabov. The youngest member of the new far-right formation Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty, however, was furious.

"The British socialists are beside themselves with rage after the formation of Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty. They can't even distinguish their own guys!" Dimitar Stoyanov commented, as cited by 24 Hours daily.

The report "Romania's first gift to the European Union - a caucus of neo-fascists and Holocaust deniers", published by The Guardian on January 8, carried an accompanying picture captioned Dimitar Stoyanov, who is a Bulgarian MEP.

The actual photograph, however, showed an older and more leftwing politician, Dimitar Stoyanov Dabov, of the Coalition for Bulgaria, which is composed mainly of socialist and social democratic parties.

A check into the site of the European Parliament showed, however, that information about Dimitar Stoyanov was illustrated by a picture namely of Dimitar Stoyanov Dabov.

The mistake has been corrected.
