A fantastic tidbit @Joseph from Germany’s main financial newspaper (via Twitter). Heil Euro! Heil Merkel!

France should hand its permanent seat on the UN Security Council in the medium term to the EU, German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said. It would allow the EU to speak with one voice. #France #Germany #EU #UN #SecurityCouncil

lol… I wonder how that’s going to play in France!
Germany periodically brings up the question of the permanent members of the “Security Council”. There are a couple of alternatives: the system set up nearly 80 years ago must inevitably change; or it will continue, with the UN itself, a bloated bureaucracy, fading into (even greater) irrelevance.

Its because of Brexit..
he first is Brexit. Unless the U.K. somehow avoids quitting the union next spring, France will be the only EU member of the council’s five permanent members. French and British diplomats insist that they will continue to cooperate closely. But some other European officials suggest that France should instead “Europeanize” its seat and take other EU views on debates at the U.N. more seriously. In a speech today, German Finance Minister and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on Paris to act as “the permanent EU ambassador to the United Nations.”
Translation: “Scholz called on Paris to act as “the permanent German ambassador to the United Nations”. 🙂 🙂 🙂
One of my Twitter correspondents in France paraphrases the German request: “Donnez-moi votre montre, je vous donnerai l’heure”
(Give me your watch and I’ll give you the time)
Tell him it’s more along the lines of.. Donne moi ta bite et je t’enculerai à sec avec.
(good job the Giza Bot only recognises english swearwords…Iùm not going to translate that.. In fact.. with certain rumours flying around regarding Macron.. it might be exactly what he wants.)O.o
