Jean-Claude
Juncker gave a long talk last week about Europe at the old and famous Leuven
University near Brussels.
He
is a very experienced politician and the presentation just confirmed that. He
has indeed been around for many years, he has seen many politicians, big and
small. And he knows every detail about a good deal of matters.
But
he seems to require some advice about his public speaking style. He addressed
the audience in French, without caring about the fact that many in the room could
not understand the language and that he had been asked to speak in English. Furthermore,
during the question-and-answer time, his replies had a touch of arrogance that
is not helpful. In the end, arrogance – even if it is only over-confidence – can
actually be damaging.
He
also looks older than his age and a bit tired for the job.
Can
anyone in his circle help him to look into these matters?
