I was also at the EUI when Borrell was the President. He was a fine example of ineffectual, corrupt & empty leadership- neither reflective of the EUI environment nor the beliefs of the community. Seems like history is repeating itself 😡
I was at the European University Institute when Josep Borrell was it president. He had to resign because he had "forgotten" to declare a 300'000 income from an energy company

Its rare, but not unprecedented for UN Sec-Gen to accuse P-5 member of violating UN Charter as
@antonioguterres
did last night in his statement on Russia. Hammarskjold was the first to do this over Congo (1960). Represents an assertion of Sec-Gen authority, the 1st for Guterres.
