Does the EU Commission Support Ms Royal? Ségolène Royal, the Socialist candidate for French President, has said that she wants more of a "social Europe". A model that has failed miserably and created very anti-social effects on the national level is, for some reason, desired on a European scale. According to Le Figaro, the Swedish EU Commissioner Margot Wallström supports Ms Royal in her EU vision. Indeed, Sweden then has a Commissioner in conflict with the Swedish Government. But perhaps she is just preparing to leave Brussels and become a leader of the Social Democrat Party? In any case, the new Swedish government ought to begin to consider new names for the post as EU Commissioner.
