“Family battles await in the EU elections”
“the Family is the worst when cousins, siblings and ex-wives of the candidates against each other then the EUROPEAN parliament will be filled with new members.”
“this Year’s trend seems to be to stand as a candidate in a country other than their own.”
“Greek vänsterekonomen Yanis Varoufakis moved up sharply with the feelings of the eurogroup meetings in Brussels during his short time as minister of finance in the spring of 2015.”
“now, When he hopes to come back to Brussels, do the mc-running 57-year-old it, not from home – but via Germany.”
“– It is not intended that life should be easy, ” noted Varoufakis in a hearing of the think tank Bruegel in Brussels at the end of march.”
“If he really will succeed remains to be seen. Despite the relatively large attention in the media is seen Varoufakis-party Diem25 barely at all in the polls so far.”
“Varoufakis is not alone to seek his fortune elsewhere. Italy’s former minister for EU affairs, Sandro Gozi, set up in the French EU elections, for president Emmanuel Macrons movement LREM.”
“the Dutch former EU commissioner and minister neelie Kroes is standing as a candidate in his tour of the belgian liberal party Open VLD.”
“Kroes has also joined with the belgian VLD of the French Nicolas Barnier, whose father Michel has been in the spotlight significantly in the past few years as the EU’s chief negotiator on the brexit. If Barnier, the younger is elected to await perchance interesting debates in the future with Barnier the elderly – which by many is seen as a possible compromise for the post as the new president of the EUROPEAN commission.”
“Overall, there are plenty of potential family conflicts in the next EU parliament. In Italy there are two descendants of former dictator Benito Mussolini against each other: granddaughter Alessandra Mussolini, the hope to be re-elected for the conservative Go Italy (Forza Italia), while her nephew Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini, a candidate for the extreme right in Italy’s brothers (Fratelli d’italia).”
“Estonia’s former president, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, has twice the interest for the choice: his wife Ieva, a candidate in Latvia and ex-wife Evelin in Estonia.”
“In the Uk may, in turn, two of the Conservative party’s most famous representative, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, follow their sisters’ election campaigns, for white different parties. Rachel Johnson, set up for the newly formed EU-friendly Change UK, while Annunziata Rees-Mogg, a candidate for the likewise newly formed, but eagerly, EU-hostile, Brexitpartiet.”
“Rachel won’t have, however, meet his dad, Stanley, who hoped to become a candidate for the Conservative party, but was not released until.”
“Through the years, countless tv stars, athletes and actors tried to be elected to the EU parliament, not least as a means for their parties to get up the interest for the EUROPEAN elections. In the year seem to be unusually few celebrities stand as a candidate – perhaps as a result of the work of parliament has become much tougher.”
“The most well-known names are instead”
“Finland offers at the same time on a”
“the EUROPEAN parliament has through the years been both a springboard for young politicians as a pensioneringsplats for the elderly. Five of the EU’s current prime minister: Joseph Muscat (Malta), Viorica Dancila (Romania), Antonio Costa (Portugal), Andrej Plenkovic (Croatia) and Krisjanis Karins (Latvia) have all previously been members of the EU parliament.”
“Among those who rounded of their careers in parliament are, in turn, France’s former president Valery Giscard d’estaing, German chancellor Willy Brandt and the reconstructed Lithuanian first head of state Vytautas Landsbergis.”
“A series of sporting and cultural celebrities have also served in the EU parliament. Finland has sent both the skier Marjo Matikainen as the rallydriver Ari Vatanen and gångaren Sari Essayah.
