Blijkbaar vindt hij de Europese politiek niet zo interessant.
Citaat:
Asked by EurActiv what his priorities would be, Stanishev said his first commitment was to the Bulgarian party.

Lekker navelstaren met andere woorden.
Toch is er een positief puntje.
Citaat:
The PES Council that elected Stanishev also adopted a plan to democratically choose the next European Commission president through primary elections in all 27 countries. Nominations will be open throughout October 2013, the list of candidates will be made public the next month. In December, an internal selection procedure will take place with each affiliated party, and in February 2014 an extraordinary PES congress will convene to ratify the election of a single candidate, ahead of the European elections due in June 2014.

Het gaat overigens niet over de voorzitter van de Europese Commissie, zoals abusievelijk wordt vermeld, maar over de
kandidaat voorzitter.
Het uitermate positieve punt is dat die kandidaat vrij transparant wordt gekozen en niet benoemd via allerlei gekonkel in mistige commissies.
