Johannes Hahn

An empty suit. I guess they got rid of a problem, too...

Re: Kroes Nomination Not A Surprise (4.00 / 3)

The problem was in the coalition itself, in that Faymann wanted to keep Ferrero-Waldner but the ÖVP (from which she comes) somehow had the right to nominate and wanted to send Molterer. They somehow ended up cancelling each other out. So then they sent Hahn.

I see Hahn wanted to exit CERN in his term in Austria and that his PhD Thesis in philosophy has been criticised for plagiarism. If anything that should disqualify him from Science and Research.
