>The anger in the European Parliament is such that political groups will lecture Michel despite his absence in Strasbourg. Slightly less vitriolic, though. After all, there will be no reply and then the fun will soon be over.

>With Michel’s announcement a week and a half ago that he will not serve out his mandate (which runs until Nov. 30), he has brought upon himself an avalanche of accumulated dissatisfaction with his performance since 2019. Liberal Michel has been accused of putting his personal interest – he is quitting as EU president in mid-July to run for a seat in the European Parliament – above that of the EU. Own career first. **”We would like to say we are surprised, but unfortunately, given the figure Michel is, we are not. It fits perfectly into how he does politics: for himself,”** judges MEP Kathleen Van Brempt (Vooruit).
Even more so then yesterday?

You know, I really thought mr. potato head junior was better than this. Unfortunately I was wrong.
Mr €500k/year.
Ain’t no better situation to use shocked pikachu face than this one. You’d think a promotion to EU level would be based on proper merits and achievements. Excellent results he had to bring to the table. Don’t they screen people for important functions first?!
