An extraordinary European Council meeting to be hold after the latest developments, but centre-right wing head of government have to attend EPP congress
by Emiliano Biaggio
European leader decided to summon an extraordinary European council meeting to discuss the Ukrainian crisis. There's nothing strange in doing that, and it's absolutely obvious in front of such a crisis political leaders start work. But there's a fact that has to be considered: the special meeting will last few hours, and that's it. In Brussels the ministers for Foreign affairs first and the president of the European Commission soon after have described the Ukrainian crisis as «the worst crisis since the fall of the wall» and «the most serious stress to stability of these last 25 years», and despite that half a day will be enough to find a solution. If Europe will be really able to work in such a way, then EU will gain an unprecedented credibility. To be honest and realistic, EU is going to give the image of a series of countries with the need of showing commitment and response to the Ukrainian crisis and nothing more. That's a fact centre-right wing EU leader in the afternoon have to attend the EPP congress in Dublin, where participants are called to nominate the official candidates for the presidency of the European Commission at the next European election. German Angela Merkel, Spanish Mariano Rajoy and the same president of the European Council are expected in Dublin, and that's the reason why a final press conference is already foreseen at 15 pm. Unless to be proven wrong, European leaders risk to give the image of those whose main business, in the middle of the worse crisis of these 25 years, are the seats. Not a good performance at all.
