E.U. - June 8th, 2014

Speculation as to who will be appointed as president of the European Commission—the EU’s top job—continues. The two front runners appear to be former Luxembourgian Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, and current Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. Thorning-Schmidt has publicly denied that she’s jockeying for the position, but speculation continues. http://politiken.dk/udland/int_europa/ECE2310815/tre-britiske-aviser-har-thorning-som-frontloeber-i-kampen-om-eu-toppost/
