EU congratulates Salam Fayyad on his reappointment as PM of PA
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana has sent a message of congratulations to Salam Fayyad, who was sworn in as Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority following his reappointment.| I thought Fayyad had been "eased out" or "replaced" or "fired" some time ago. Either I misremember or he's got friends in high places... |
| You'd gone out for Milk Duds when they stopped the music and took one of the chairs away. |
| I keep waiting him to be "fired" by someone with a pistol in his hand ... |
| There must be someone to answer the phone when the call comes in for the powerless figurehead. Clearly Mr. Fayyad has demonstrated he qualifies for the position. |
| Ah, but by definition the president in a parliamentary system is the designated figurehead. And with the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas we have the perfect Paleo president ... |
| So they've got two. An embarrassment of riches! |
"I hope and trust that he will be able to continue to make progress in the fields of security and financial management despite the difficult political circumstances," said Solana in his message dispatched late Wednesday night. The EU's top diplomat said he looks forward to continued cooperation and further development of ties between the European Union and the Palestinian Authority.
