When Sirleaf received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011, there was speculation that her good image abroad could hurt her campaign for re-election at home. Analogously, both Papademos and Monti are certified European Union and eurozone elites, which will help them to obtain support for their countries abroad, but will leave them vulnerable to domestic charges that they are lackeys of foreign powers.
拥有高尚国际证书有时未必是一种优势。希尔丽夫于2011年获得了诺贝尔和平奖，当时人们预测她在国外的盛名可能对其国内连任大计构成阻碍。与此类似，帕帕季莫斯和蒙蒂都是工人的欧盟和欧元区精英，这有利于为他们争取外部支持，但也让他们容易受到国内挑战，被指为国外势力的买办。
