Een europees toppoliticus die niet rond de pot draait, en die aan de lidstaten die de EU vormen zijn mening meegeeft dat vanuit het supra-nationaal niveau dat de EU via verdrag is de zaak duidelijk is. Namelijk dat secessie-nationalisme destructief is en dus als vergif werkt.
De EU is er voor zijn burgers en zijn lidstaten, niet voor anarchisten en rebellen die het huis willen in brand steken.

International leaders came together to try to end decades of stalemate over the Mediterranean island, split between Turks and Greeks.

Mr Juncker caused a stir during the conference with his drink-fuelled erratic behaviour. It included collisions with people and furniture, and being very familiar with junior aides.

A diplomatic source told The Sun: “It was clear Juncker was very well refreshed.

Sources at the peace summit claimed Mr Juncker was 'very well refreshed' and branded him 'a bit embarrassing'

“He was bumping around into things, and going up to junior members of staff for conversations.

“It was odd behaviour, and a little bit embarrassing for everyone”.

The allegations are the latest in a long line to hit Mr Juncker over his drinking.

The former Luxembourg premier and his scheming chief of staff, Martin Selmayr, are at the centre of a furious row after Theresa May.

The PM accused them on Wednesday of trying to interfere with the general election after they were suspected of being behind a series of damaging briefings about her Brexit preparations.

Allegations have circulated around Brussels in recent years about Mr Juncker’s drinking.

One senior diplomatic source has said he “has cognac for breakfast”.

However, it can now be disclosed that concerns about Mr Juncker’s lifestyle have been raised in recent meetings of EU leaders.

A European diplomat in Brussels said: “His alcohol consumption has been raised by a number of leaders since the parliament election.”

A separate European Commission source confirmed the report.

Sources also described how Mr Juncker “chain-smoked” through a series of meetings on Thursday and disclosed that he is attempting to get rules changed so that he can smoke in buildings in Brussels.

A source close to Mr Juncker who has been present at EU summits, said: “This is quite ridiculous and 100 per cent untrue. There was absolutely no discussion of this.”

Mr Cameron attended a dinner with fellow European leaders in Ypres on Thursday as part of First World War commemorations. British officials said he used the dinner to push for EU reform.

He directly warned European leaders of the “consequences” of their decision to make Mr Juncker, an arch-federalist, the president of the European Commission. British officials indicated that giving Mr Juncker the job could push Britain towards an exit from the EU.

There have also been suggestions that Mr Cameron could campaign for Britain to leave the EU in a future referendum if Mr Juncker prevents him reforming the UK’s relationship with Brussels.

He said: “I am completely unapologetic about standing up for an important principle in Europe, which is that the elected heads of government should make these choices.”
