Pity the poor stand-in EU president. As revealed in Brussels Playbook this week, the rota for European commissioners to be in charge while everyone else goes on holiday makes grim reading for some of our unelected overlords.
At the time this piece gets published it’ll be Budget Commissioner Johannes “The Wrath Of” Hahn who has the keys to the Berlaymont while everyone else is on a (socially distanced, mask-wearing, pass-the-hand-gel) beach. And Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi must have annoyed Ursula von der Leyen (potentially by the dint of being Hungarian) as he’s got the Christmas shift this year and again in 2023.
