BRUSSELS ― Few of the EU’s current chiefs have dodged criticism as well as António Costa. But is the shine wearing off just as he gears up for re-election?

O tal de nice guy lá se terá espalhado !

Pelo menos Macron, Metz,  Polónia e os Bálticos não devem ter achado graça.

Mas por amor de Deus 🙏🙏🙏, mantenham-no na UE.
