The French Minister for European Affairs, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, answers questions in Le Monde yesterday about the nominations for the EU top positions. He underlines the need for renewal and calls for new personalities in the top positions at the same time as he says that he would like to see someone like Jacques Delors.
But, let’s face it, there is no one like Delors among the viable candidates. The focus should be on creating a clarity, authority and democratic accountability for the position rather than the personality that could possibly bring these things.
You are right.
