The top dog at the EU speaks to French pride by speaking the French language instead of English just two days ahead of the final round of the presidential election.

Trying to help Macron is what I see here by giving the EU a pro-French image.

They run scared of Marine Le Pen.

Even if she loses Sunday, stick around for the two rounds of the parliamentary election in June.

The FN only has two seats of 577 but the party's newfound strength (which would be seen even if Marine Le Pen only reaches around 40 percent popular vote) is going to put it in good shape for big gains.

“English language ‘losing importance’-EU’s Juncker”

Wishful thinking.

English is the nearest thing we have to a global language.

No other language is even a close second.

It's my experience that Europeans tend to speak more than one language.It's also my experience that the Europeans I've encountered whose native tongue *isn't* English tend to be quite fluent in English.I wonder how European languages rank as a second language for those whose native tongue is *not* English.

I'd be will to wager that English is at,or near,the top of that list.

Something occurred to me recently...with all the hatred and contempt that top EU officials have shown to Britain and the US in recent times I think it's time to rethink my car buying habits.The last three cars I've bought have been fairly high end German made cars (but certainly no limos,I assure you).

Japan makes some quite nice cars these days and there are even one or two American cars that are worth considering.

Proceed with extreme caution,Junker! Not everyone is thrilled by your Communist sympathies.

And yet oddly enough French is NOT the language of business

Juncker is psychotic

France can kiss my grits. I’m a Huguenot who came to
America & fought in the American Revolution AFTER we were
slaughtered and thrown out of France by the Catholic priests. - I used to wonder why my grandparents were so
hostile to the Catholic hierarchy & staunchly Protestant.
