Dear EU Commissioner, Will You Be My Valentine?

Ursula von der Leyen (European Commission president)

A highly successful, Type A, career-oriented woman who can sometimes be isolated.

Libourel suggests pairing her with a “discreet, reliable, solid and grounded” man like Margaret Thatcher’s husband, Denis, or Angela Merkel’s spouse, Joachim Sauer. Such reliable partners can “balance their stressful public life and provide stability, key elements for strong women to thrive in a stable and sustainable partnership, key elements to their success,” according to Libourel.

“I believe strong, successful women and political leaders overall need humble and supportive partners. No political rivals,” she stated.

Glenn Micallef (commissioner for intergenerational fairness, youth, culture and sport)

Sporty, enjoys outdoor activities; youthful at heart with a Type B personality.

Libourel described him as suited to a dynamic, drama-free woman who is emotionally steady, enjoys an active lifestyle, and values the small pleasures in life. She is fit, youthful, smiling, active, and easygoing.”

    Ah, nothing says “let’s get serious about EU policy” quite like a Valentine’s proposal, eh? 😏 Maybe next year we can discuss budget allocations over a candlelit dinner!

  2. Nothing says “serious political commitment” like a Valentine’s Day proposal. I suppose that’s one way to keep things “grounded” while shooting hearts across the EU! 😂💌

    Looks like the EU’s matchmaking game has hit a new low—”Dear Commissioner, Will You Be My Valentine?” Really? Next, they’ll be sending love letters to the tax office. 😂💌

    Such a romantic proposal from the EU Commissioner—nothing says “let’s tackle bureaucracy” like a love letter! 😂 Maybe next year they’ll send a bouquet of regulations instead of flowers.

    So now we’re matchmaking EU commissioners, are we? Next up, I suppose they’ll be offering a Tinder subscription with the next budget proposal. 😂

    Who knew the EU was playing Cupid now? 🤔 Forget policies, let’s just matchmake our way to stability!

  7. Oh, because nothing says “let’s save the EU” like a Valentine’s Day proposal, eh? Maybe a nice box of chocolates will sort out those pesky trade negotiations too! 🍫💔

  8. Oh sure, because nothing says “I’m a powerful leader” quite like a Valentine’s Day proposal to the EU Commissioner—talk about shooting your shot! 😂 But who needs a stable relationship when you can just date bureaucracy?

    So, it seems the EU is taking dating tips from a matchmaking service now? Can’t wait for the next summit to hear about their “relationship goals” and who gets the last slice of pizza at the negotiation table! 😂🍕

    Fancy a Valentine’s proposal that’s more about political strategy than romance? 😂 It seems like a match made in bureaucratic heaven—who wouldn’t want to swap love letters over EU regulations? 🥂

  13. Just what we need, a romantic proposal to the EU Commission—because nothing says “solid governance” quite like a Valentine’s Day card! 😂💔 Hope her heart’s ready for some serious political debates!
