'When I am on holiday, am I still not the president of Europe?'
“When Barack Obama goes on vacation, is he not the president of the United States? When Nicolas Sarkozy goes on vacation, is he no longer the president of France?,” said the spokesman of our very own EU president.
Herman Van Rompuy is under fire for using his motorcade as a taxi service to run his family from Brussels to Paris (and back again) to get a flight to and from their sun drenched summer holiday in August.
Apparently his security services decided that it would be simply too dangerous for Mr Van Rompuy to travel a few miles to Gare Du Midi to take a high-speed train to the Charles De Gaulle airport.
Instead, the president, his wife, his children, their spouses and his two grandchildren, a party of 10, were taken in a US presidential style motorcade (were there outriders I wonder?) all 162 or so miles to Paris. When they returned, it was the Caribbean I think, the limos and close protection teams were on hand to whisk them back again – round trips of 650 miles.
It is Mr Van Rompuy’s “don’t you know who I am” moment.
In this mindset, haiku Herman, while unelected, is at least as important as French or US presidents who were chosen by voters. His office (it seems out of character for the man himself) is showing severe symptoms of delusions of grandeur combined with the easy sense of entitlement that is so characteristic of the droit d’eurocrat.
Never mind that Mr Van Rompuy, dubbed “Mr Nobody” by Helmut Schmidt, could walk unrecognised on the streets of Brussels, let alone other European capitals. Or, that one of his aides regularly writes to newspapers in green ink complaining that Mr Van Rompuy’s correct title is the President of the Council, and that he is not, repeat NOT an EU president such as heads of state like Obama or Sarkozy.
Never mind that his use of cars for a family trip would flagrantly break the rules in any other EU institution. Or, that real heads of state and government, such as David Cameron, regularly use the high-speed rail connections that are so close to Mr Van Rompuy’s Sint-Genesius-Rode home.
Never mind, that he is paid €298,494 a year, more, funnily enough, than either President Obama or Sarkozy. Mr Van Rompuy is so important, he is so very, very worth the fuss.
I am told that his cabinet are horrified that this shockingly “superficial” story has come out of the corridors into the open.
They just don’t get it do they?
There seems to be quite definite cracks beginning to appear in the outside shell of Herman Van Rompuy, and all is not as it appears to be.
If that is the case then one may ask, does this man really have delusions of grandeur as the article above has suggested, or is there a lot more to this timid looking ex Belgium Prime Minister than what meets the eye?
After the confirmation of the Lisbon Treaty, there was a time not too long ago that the world waited with eager anticipation for the day that we would finally learn who was going to be the first ever full time president of the EU.
When the results were finally revealed and we learnt that Van Rompuy had secured the position the average European was less than impressed, and rightly so.
After all, this was not what they had hoped for in a president but as for me l knew that this man may not have been what he had appeared to be and that there may have been a whole lot more to Van Rompuy than what initially met the eye.
In fact, after having listened to the teachings of the late and great Barry R Smith who had said that the Antichrist would be the full time president of the EU my suspicions were immediately raised just as soon as l had laid eyes on Van Rompuy.
If he is as l think he may be, then there maybe some reason why there are now signs beginning to show that he may yet be the Antichrist by the manner in which he is behaving?
If l am ever able to prove this to be a fact by his confirmation of the treaty of Daniel that he is the Prince of the Covenant, then l will be one of the first ones to make that fact publically known on the Internet by writing an article and placing it onto this BlogSpot.
