fullbore anti-CEE wog, claiming a country bordering Russia can't have the SecGen post.
Russia-bordering Norway's Stoltenberg has been nominated plus even extended twice.
NL meanwhile is not even close to spending 2%, wants the job.

Timmermans is supposedlyone of Europe's intelligent leaders.
Recall how Stoltenberg was good for SecGen because he was from a country bordering Russia?
A different idea: No ally spending under 2% on defense even qualifies to for a SecGen, whose job is to get others to do so.

is the apotheosis of Western European haughty ignorance and prejudice against CEE.
A Russia-bordering Norwegian is named SecGen over and over, but an Untermensch wog from the East is disqualified.

This is an ominous piece.
I cannot see how it could work with Ukraine surrounded on three sides and Crimea as a stationary aircraft and missile carrier.
For the duration of such a "cease-fire", Crimea may not re-militarize.

"Seipel has of course seriously damaged the ÖRR and journalism. But we should also understand him as a product of the Merkel-Steinmeier era. He told exactly the stories about Russia that the political mainstream wanted to hear. That's why he got the best time slots."
