Today and tomorrow the Summit Meeting of the EU is being held and one of the issues on the agenda is the reappointment of Barroso as President of the European Commission. Barroso is supported by the conservative block in the European Parliament and by the conservative governments in France and Germany. But the Greens are determined to build up a coalition within the Parliament to prevent Barroso from being re-elected.
Details of why a Commission headed by Barroso would be a disaster for the EU are here
With the Copenhagen Climate Conference at the end of the year and the Swedish Presidency due to begin next month, it is essential that the EU is headed by someone of vision with progressive views and not by someone who stands for more of the same.
Hello Joseph Healy, I am glad to find other people who want to stop Barroso from being re-elected.
ReplyDeleteI want him stopped, not because he is a bad or good at his job, but because he is the man who ordered Maddie McCann from a paedophile network in Belgium.
Paedophiles should not be allowed to be president of the EU commission.
