Nikos Michaloliakos (Golden Dawn) is not on Schulz’s list, neither Dimitris Koutsoumpas (KKE), neither Panos Kammenos (Independent Greeks). I can fully understand that Schulz does not feel like chatting with party leaders in custody (Michaloliakos) or with those rejecting the European idea (Koutsoumpas) – despite the fact that both parties have MEP in EP.

But Kammenos? He is not only a party leader, he is also Tsipras junior partner in the coalition government.
