Whether it is conservatives like Sarkozy, Christian Democrats like Merkel, right-wing populists like Berlusconi, or socialists like Zapatero, political affiliation appears to make no difference. If you hold office in Europe nowadays, you are in trouble.
无论你追随萨科齐这样的保守派，还是默克尔这样基督教民主党人，或是奉行贝鲁斯科尼式的右翼民粹路线，又或是扎帕特罗这样的社会主义者，只要你在欧洲当政，那就无一例外会陷入麻烦当中——政治立场似乎都无关紧要了。
