A recent article published on Daily Mail calls Juncker a drunk quoting statements of European officials, such as the President of the Eurogroup Dijsselbloem, and argues that because of his weakness in drinking, he is not suitable for President of European Commission, supporting the efforts of David Cameron to sabotage Juncker’s election.

The article of the British newspaper notes that “Juncker and his boozing is the worst-kept secret in Brussels” and mentions that senior British official argues that “most Europeans leaders admit that he is politically and personally unsuited to run the EU”.

The article includes various old and new statements of people who know well about the “boozing problem” of Juncker.

– A senior diplomatic source told the newspaper that “Mr Juncker reportedly has cognac for breakfast”
– “He was allegedly ‘blind drunk’, acted in a ‘vulgar’ way and repeatedly used the f-word in a meeting.”
– “A respected German news journal claimed he had ‘drunk too much for years’”.
-“A top Dutch politician called him a ‘stubborn drinker’, forcing Mr Juncker to issue an angry denial”- “Der Spiegel magazine said: ‘The more often Juncker’s name is dropped, the more the question arises whether he would be sturdy enough for the office of President. Long-time companions report of human weaknesses almost unknown to a broader public.”

Dijsselbloem also attacked against Juncker, who when he was asked “if smoking and drinking were allowed at Eurogroup meetings, he replied: ‘It has always been prohibited. Only the former chairman did not abide by it””.

Mr Juncker, though, responded furiously saying that “I have no problems with drink, that’s enough! Leave me alone with allegations that are not true. I have no health problems. I find it offensive having to deal constantly with rumours about me.”
