All together now: “Unite unite Europe”

Monsieur Sarkozy has once again made use of his “six brains” (I wonder if it hurts). So, the husband of Carla Bruni thinks that the present world crisis could be a great opportunity for himself to remain in charge until (at least) 2010, as seen on Le Monde article. Vive la France, vive la crise!
In his speech to MEPs on 21 October, Sarkozy mentioned the (urgent) need for a “unified economic government” of the Eurogroup. He already sees himself as a smiling president of this government until 2010. But the ungrateful Czech Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondra immediately rejected this extraordinary gift, and refused to willingly and gladly hand over the Czech Republic scheduled presidency.

“Nobody can take the presidency away from the Czech Republic. Any speculation over an extension of the current presidency is groundless and unacceptable,”

Surprise, surprise -even Germany is reluctant to the brilliant proposal.

And the nasty French Socialist leader François Hollande dears to mock The Man:

“Sarkozy wants to be president of everything now,”

adding that the president will soon be asking to have his French presidential term prolonged in 2012 without another election (well, well, Monsieur Hollande, don’t give him any new ideas!).

Great essences come in small recipients. But is this a nice essence? Because this one is great and really stinks.

With Constitutional Treaty failed, the Lisbon Treaty ‘frozen’ (oh, come on, let’s face it: also failed) this is exactly what ‘unified Europe’ needs. As I was telling natka more than a year ago:

…even there is a ‘potential’ for a super-state, for most Europeans it is to soon to talk about this. And we cannot ignore that there is also a ‘potential’ of breaking-up (less important, but it’s there). We will know for sure only when EU will face its first real major crisis (it will come, whether we like or not, its a cycle). We’ll see if EU will react as a whole or not. Then we can talk about super-state or super- nation or whatever this union tends to become.

The major crisis I was talking about is here, and I don’t like what I see. Wake up, gentlemen!
