Daniel Cohn-Bendit MEP - an archetypical man of the EU

The Irish Times this morning, linked here, devotes an article to the dual nationality, former revolutionary "Dany le Rouge", who very recently was considered by many to have been overly offensive, read here, to the Czech President, Vaclav Klaus in Prague, a quote from the paper's article:

Cohn-Bendit accuses Barroso of scheming to get himself reappointed in July, because he knows he will face stronger opposition if the appointment is left until the new commission is formed in the autumn. Britain, Spain and Portugal support his reappointment.

The longer it is delayed, the better the chances of a strong candidate emerging, says Cohn-Bendit. “The green candidate is me.” He holds dual German and French nationality, and has served as a German or French MEP for the past 15 years.

I will not repeat here the detail provided by Mary Ellen Synon in her blog of 1st April this year on the Daily Mail web page linked here, titled "Dany le zip" which describes this man's apparently proud admission of sexually molesting children back in 1975 revealed in a recent debate with Declan Ganley, but I do wonder why a newspaper as respected as The Irish Times would provide this publicity to such man so soon after such publicity? Looking at my previously linked report on the events in Prague Castle last December, one must also wonder why Hans-Gert Pöttering, European Parliament President and other EU notables would choose to be associated with such a man and associate themselves with either his past or his personalised attacks? 400 million EU Citizens should note this June the nature of those so dedicated to attacking Declan Ganley and Libertas!
