In Azerbaijan, Barroso is a great man!

Pithy stuff from Der Spiegel, read here. Another quote from the same article:

Barroso has now pitted himself against Merkel, and the fight is being watched by an anxious and critical audience that is made up on the one hand of the EU citizens, who especially in Greece are worried about their living standards and are constantly taking to the streets in fresh protests. The audience also includes the financial markets. If they start feeling like the Europeans can't get a grip on their problems, they can cause entire countries to teeter and the euro to crash. Under these circumstances, the issue is whether European democracy can function under the gaze of such executioners.
