Wallström Cheering for Sahlin and Royal. EU Commissioner Margot Wallström took a leading role in the Swedish Social Democratic party, after the new leader, Mona Sahlin, was elected. Now, she writes at her blog at the EU Commission web page that she "cheered" when it was clear that the Socialist President candidate in France, Ségolène Royal, was set for the second round. The second cheer is somewhat remarkable, since Wallström likes to be portrayed as a politician in the middle whereas Royal is a far-left Socialist. But the main point is that Wallström has to decide if she is going to continue as EU Commissioner or be a Socialist politician in Europe. She can′t be both at once.
