The Prime Minister of Belgium is the most likely to become the European president
November 13, 2009
Various indicators at the European and Belgian levels are mounting, indicating that the head of the current Belgian government (Herman Van Rumbai) is probably the political figure that has the opportunity to assume the post of first President of the European Union and that decision will be made at a European summit this weekend in Brussels.
The sources said that the Belgian German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Sarkozy had contacted jointly the Belgian politician and told him that Berlin and Paris approve his candidacy for this position.
The same sources reported that Britain, which has a position of the first Minister of Foreign Affairs in the person of David Miliband in the restructuring of the federal European institutions, would not object as in the past the Belgian candidate.
There are several speculation over who will succeed Herman van Rumbai at the head of the Belgian government as the political forces in the country appears to be torn between a Flemish person and specifically Marianne Ticino responsible of the Flemish Christian Social Party or Liberal francophone Party leader Didier Rendarc
