HERMAN VAN ROMPUY IN THE UN

The Belgian newspaper DE STANDAARD commented on the address of the President of the European Council at the General Assembly of the United Nations.

The article would be banal and forgotten if this provincial newspaper had not reduced the function of the President to that of a “Flemish” politician. In doing so, DE STANDAARD shows that it lacks both respect for the President and knowledge of the rules of the United Nations, which only recognize states. If DE STANDAARD chooses to be the laughing stock amongst the international press, so be it.
