When I first read the list of new EU leaders, it felt like April Fools' Day. I have no problem with Catalan as High Representative (nice domestic politics trick from Pedro Sanchez) nor Italian socialst as chairman of the European Parliament and I think that Belgium's prime minister might be optimal choice to lead the European Council.
I'm not so comfortable with Barracks Barbie leading the Commission after seeing in what shape the Bundeswehr is these days (insufficient numbers of flyable fighters, at times zero functioning submarines, destroyer sized, overweight, persistently listing "warships" which are armed like offshore patrol vessels...) and I strongly oppose appointment of politician like Lagarde into the ECB although I got to admit that her political skills maybe advantage in getting things done (if she is smart enough to listen professional advice). Gotta hope von der Leyten is better in EU politics than dfence stuff.
