The talented and tenacious journalists at POLITICO — not to be confused with this humble, temporary, and wholly undeserving guest columnist — are optimistic that PLACEHOLDERe0e3efda5e4ea3d8 might finally be the last one required. PLACEHOLDER464cdaab1a1671e1 appear to be prevailing, and if this holds, they’ll be able to close their laptops, grab a glass of mulled wine, and call it a win. However, should those “cooler heads” suddenly heat up, there’s a chance they could send European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen back to square one, potentially kicking off a whole new drama. That would mean 26 live blogs covering each commissioner’s grilling, Christmas panic for the Brussels bubble — and zero mulled wine for anyone.
Regardless of whether my esteemed colleagues’ hopes for a smooth vote on November 27 are realized, we can all agree it’s been quite the whirlwind six months in Brussels. From the PLACEHOLDERe15b95281fbd6a7b to a PLACEHOLDERb82a32c81ca32690, from incumbent commissioners being PLACEHOLDERe2e5357065ea2b94 to new nominees with impressive PLACEHOLDERace13c90816a92eb stepping in, it’s safe to say Brussels has delivered plenty of entertainment.
Brussels, are you not entertained?
