By EUobserver
European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker will give a speech on 4 May in Trier to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Kark Marx's birth in the German city. He was invited as a Trier honorary citizen. "Nobody can deny that Karl Marx is a figure who shaped history in one way or the other, and not speaking of him would come close to denying history," a commission spokeswoman said Friday.
