Martin Schulz: “Evicting an 87-year-old woman from the home she has lived in for decades is an unsurpassed coldness”
The former President of the European Parliament states that he would "never" have signed the letter from 22 countries criticizing Sánchez after the Ceuta crisis: "It shows how easy it is to divide the EU from outside"
Martin Schulz, the former leader of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), recounts his first attendance at an SPD meeting at 19, where his proposal to discuss Augusto Pinochet's coup in Chile was rejected. Four decades later, he achieved a unanimous vote to lead the SPD and become Chancellor candidate, but now says that 100% support is unrealistic.
Schulz had vowed not to join Angela Merkel's government, but ultimately resigned as party leader and offered to become Foreign Minister, which did not materialize. He currently heads the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung foundation, which recently hosted a debate in Madrid on challenges to social democracy.
