Quello che la stampa estera scrive (ma che nessuno riprende)

A tutti coloro che considerano la stampa internazionale come ILVERBO consiglio la lettura di questo interessante post di Watergate che raccoglie tutte le critiche piovute sul professore dall’estero durante il suo incarico a Bruxelles. Io mi limito a riprendere l’estratto di Liberation:

According to Jean Quatremer, the veteran correspondent of Libération in Brussels, the world’s press agrees that Romano Prodi is the worst President of the European Commission ever. The Eurostat affair, which has destroyed any pretence that the reputation of the Prodi Commission has cleaned up the act of its predecessor, comes after a long period in which the President himself has seen his own authority ebb away remorselessly. At last October’s economic summit, he literally said nothing, even though the economy is supposed to be the Commission’s patch. The only country which is not aware of Prodi’s terrible reputation, says Quatremer, is Italy. This is because the majority of the press is hostile to the Berlusconi government, and sees in Romano Prodi the man who has the greatest chances of beating him (Trad. dal fancese, Liberation 27 settembre 2003, vedi sopra, con aggiunta dell’European Foundation).
