Left- and right-wing radicals in the European Parliament

I think the following quote deserves some attention (translation from German by me):

„It scares me to see how left- and right-wing radicals in this house talk each other into a rage, with the Greens standing by their side“, said Manfred Weber (CSU), the leader of the biggest faction, the European People’s Party.

The EPP faction leader considers opponents of investor protection schemes to be radicals. You might want to remember that for the next EU elections.
