European Council President Charles Michel said he “could not sleep peacefully” because of his embarrassment over the lack of a seat for EC President Ursula von der Leyen at a meeting in Ankara this week, he told the German newspaper Handelsblatt, quoted by Reuters.
Ursula von der Leyen, the first female president of the European Commission, expressed surprise and raised her hand, disbelieving what happened when she found out that Michel had taken the only seat available to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the talks. “Focus”.
In the episode captured by the camera, she eventually sits on a farther couch.
“I do not hide the fact that I have not slept well at night since then because the scenes continue to play in my head,” Michelle told Handelsblatt, adding that if possible, he would return to rectify the incident.
