If Europe will do as it has always done, choosing the lowest common denominator to represent it, the continent's citizens will continue to drift away from the European project, while the rest of the world will not take it seriously. For this reason, it is time to ask the European leaders, paraphrasing the Marquis De Sade, to make "one more effort" to be European. Today, never! The new Europe is very much like the old.

The fact remains that the conservatives secured the largest number of votes and as a result claim the presidency of the Commission for the man they have at the top of the list, the Bavarian Manfred Veber.
