Jean-Claude Juncker was forced to resign as prime minister of Luxembourg after he was involved in a lurid spy scandal complete with microphones hidden in wristwatches, that saw the country’s Grand Duke accused of close ties with MI6, and allegations that another member of the royal family was linked to a notorious series of bombings. With Mr Juncker set to be named president of the European Commission, questions are being asked about the affair that forced him from office less than a year ago. Even within the self-contained universe of the EU political bureaucracy there is an Ancien Régime, to which Mr Juncker certainly belongs. His nomination sadly underlines how Europe is not a union of nations embracing the world, but an ever more anonymous political entity with ever more control.
