European diplomacy to launch unprecedented exchange programme
Always smiling
EEAS, the European External Action service, has officially launched only recently but seems to be bursting with international ambition already. BJ reporters were able to take a peak at a top secret internal report commissioned by non other than the High Representative Ashton, and which aims at setting in place a very ambitious international exchange programme, the LGM (for ‘Leaders Go Mobile’).
This plan will revolutionise the way international diplomacy is run, according to the report, by allowing leaders from one country to offer their expertise and support to another, an exchange programme that seems to go well beyond the EU borders when considering the leaders identified as ‘likely LGM candidates’.
The names notably spotted by the BJ reporters included Bart De Wever as potential Crisis Manager for Tunisia, Sarah Palin as supervisor of the Hungarian Media Law Watchdog (if someone knows what unbalanced opinions mean…), Libyan leader Gaddafi as potential replacement for Berlusconi (the report talks about ‘coherence and continuity’) and Sarkozy as Minister of Stay at Home Affairs for Romania. The challenge for Ashton will now be to gain support from the Council for this innovative approach.

This is a satirical newspaper: everything we say is absolutely not true, should not be trusted and not relied on. If you think this is news, you must be mad or utterly bored.

“Sarah Palin as supervisor of the Hungarian Media Law Watchdog”
Right… whatever scrap of infomration you hear, or find appealing about America, you tend to accept…. how typically ignorant, self-important, and self-serving. Maybe you DO need some sort of “exchange programme” to exit the trap of adolescent emotionalism.
Dear Joe
thank you for your most interesting comments and especially the fact that you have made, albeit for a few seconds, these reporters feel young again and flushed with ‘adolescent emotionalism’.Lino
