Carl Bildt vill nog gärna bli EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Following the 2008 financial crash, the euro crisis, and recurrent migration imbroglios /an extremely confused, complicated, or embarrassing situation/ the EU has turned inward.
At the same time, the EU’s immediate neighborhood has transformed from a circle of potential friends and partners into a ring of fire.
The choice, then, is clear. Europe’s strategic mission in the coming years must be to secure its position on the world stage, and all matters of policy and personnel should be settled in a way that advances that objective.
Obviously, a strong European Council president, working closely with a strong high representative, will be essential.
