By
and large, Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, has measured up
to his Brussels job. At a time of great challenges, he has been able to respond
much better than initially expected. He has shown leadership and prudence. And
that is certainly good news for Europe at a time of great political fragility and
uncertainty.
Now,
the outcome of his native Poland´s general elections has brought a bigger
problem to him. He has lost the support of his government as the new boys and
girls in Warsaw are far from being his political buddies. Without such backing, in his home country,
his presidency job in the Council will be based on a much weaker foundation and
becomes much more difficult to perform.
That´s
bad news for him and also for the EU.
