Martin Schulz, the chairman of the Socialist group in the European Parliament, talks to SPIEGEL about the forthcoming European elections, why the EU needs more democracy and his infamous spat with Silvio Berlusconi.
SPIEGEL: Mr. Schulz, do we need to introduce you to our readers?
Martin Schulz: According to surveys, a quarter of all Germans know who I am. There are some cabinet ministers or prime ministers who would be pleased with a figure like that.
