EU: King Sarko?


Talking of Sarkozy, the Belgian paper De Standaard reports that a plot is brewing between him and the Commission President, the former Maoist Jose Barroso, to make Sarkozy the permanent president.


The reason is that on 31st December Sarko has to hand over the presidency to the Czechs, who are pleasingly eurosceptic. There will be a lot of talk about special measures for these difficult times, and bribery of the Czechs, all of which I hope will be rejected out of hand.
