Shortly after Nigel Farage’s speech at the European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg and before Marine Le Pen could open her speech, Greek Communist Party’s MEP Kostas Papadakis began reading an announcement in Greek, without previously asking permission to speak.

The President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz repeatedly asked the Greek MEP not to interrupt his colleague. However, he continued to speak disregarding the President’s warnings and, as a result, Schulz asked Mr. Papadakis to leave the chamber.
