One of the most enthusiastic European officials, the communications commissioner Margot Wallstrom has said she is fed up with the “reign of old men” in Brussels.
“An inner circle of male decision-makers agree behind closed doors on whom to nominate to EU top jobs,”
“It is incredible that only men have been mentioned in the discussions, and that it is all discussed behind the scenes”
“It is very bad for public opinion. The people see male politicians scheming behind closed doors, and that old men choose old men, as always”
“Just look at the ‘family photos’ at the EU summits. It’s almost all only men that are lined up. Gee, humanity consists of fifty per cent women!
Wow, she’s angry! Of course she’s right, but what should we, the common people, think about the shiny programs of the EU against the women discrimination, since the women are discriminated at the very top of the EU?
