European Elections 2014: statement by Martin SCHULZ (S&D, DE), candidate for the Presidency of the European Commission

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ (S&amp;D, DE), candidate for the Presidency of the EC, "We will see who can start to try to build a majority in the EP. I think Juncker will try, as I will do, to find a majority in the house. I will speak to Juncker perhaps also tonight, I mentioned just and I presume you heard my 3 points, on the basis of a programme we have to build a majority and at the end we will see who with the programme can get the majority in the EP".

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ (S&amp;D, DE), candidate for the Presidency of the EC, "What we can predict for the time being is that all groups belonging to the pro European democratic spectrum of this house have to discuss with each other".

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ (S&amp;D, DE), candidate for the Presidency of the EC, "I think all people looking to the results in France this is a bad day for the European Union when a party with such an open racist, xenophobic and antisemitic programme gets 25 or 24% of the voters in France."

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ (S&amp;D, DE), candidate for the Presidency of the EC, "The resons behind such a vote for this party in France are not that the people are hard core extremists, they are disapointed, they have lost trust and hope and therefore I stick to tax evasion, tax fraud, fight against unemployment specially of young people".
