Sorry, you mean Slovenian politicians get hired as top EU bureaucrats (i.e. not elected to EU parliament, but working for the EU commission as executives in some capacity), and then return to Slovenian politics when they see a chance to win some local election?
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoOk let's leave slovenia out of this, because we're a small country, and lets go "big" I'm saying that eg. ursula von der leyen is a german CDU member (deputy leader of the party), a former minister of defence in germany, and when she stops being the president of european comission she'll probably return to germany with some big merkel-like political career in mind. So yeah, after her EU comission presidency, I can see her trying to go big in germany, and she'll need a lot of voter support to achieve that. Starting an election campaing while still in EU office is something she'll probably do.
