BERLIN — Martin Schulz, the head of Germany’s Social Democrats, wants to push for ever-closer European integration and turn the EU into a ‘United States of Europe’ by 2025.

“I want there to be a constitutional treaty to create a federal Europe,” Schulz said Thursday during a speech at a party convention in Berlin, as
he urged his party to clear the way for talks with Angela Merkel’s conservatives which could lead to a new German government and put an end
to an unprecedented coalition deadlock.

The drafting process of such a constitutional treaty, Schulz said,
should involve citizens across the Continent. Once drafted, it would “be presented to the member states, and those who are against it will simply
leave the EU,” he said, adding that Poland was already systematically undermining European values and Hungary was increasingly isolating itself. [snip]
