The entourage of Charles Michel rectifies and invokes justified trips. “Charles Michel is fully involved in his role of representing the European Union internationally. A mission that intensified after the Covid, but also due to the context of the war in Ukraine“, souligne son porte-parole Jurek Kuczkiewicz.
The Journal Le Monde, which investigated, also noted a whole series of short journeys made by Charles Michel, by car or private plane.
LEuropean observers see these trips as a way of competing with Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen, a race for visibility to represent the European Union.
