Meanwhile, in Brussels Nikolaj Villumsen MEP asked the EU co-president whether “the EU leaders are afraid of Erdogan.”

Villumsen said he “did not get an answer. Instead of moving towards an expansion of the Customs Union with Turkey the EU leaders should call for the immediate release of Selahattin Demirtas.”

Are the EU leaders afraid of Erdogan? That was my question to @eucopresident today. But I did not get an answer.
