EU Parliament President Schultz refutes sole explanation for EU's Sickness!

The BBC reports the following, as may be read in full from this link:

"Prime Minister Orban is an efficient man," Mr Schulz, flanked by Mr Orban, told reporters in English.
"He is an efficient man by taking on board in Brussels the European rhetoric and to blame the same rhetoric when he is in Budapest as a kind of inadmissible approach.

"So the Europeans should take into account that he is a clever man as a party leader but he should take into account that the European leaders are not stupid."

What? If we rule out stupidity as an excuse for the actions of those in charge of the EU, the present mess must surely be only down to their own greed or downright mendacity!
