Vidéo
In this interview excerpt, Gérard Deprez, political adviser to the Walloon Christian Social Party (PSC) with responsibility for international relations from 1974 to 1979, leader of the PSC from 1981 to 1996 and Member of the European Parliament from 1984 to 1999 for the European People’s Party (EPP), explains his reluctance to allow the British Conservative Party to join the EPP Group in the European Parliament in 1989. He particularly mentions how, during the 1990s, Helmut Kohl, German Federal Chancellor from 1982 to 1998, and the CDU-CSU were keen for the EPP to incorporate all the conservative parties in Europe, from the centre to the fringes of the extreme right of the political spectrum.
