EU staff petition Barroso over Goldman Sachs job
‘More than 75,000 people have signed an EU staff petition against former European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso, calling for “exemplary measures” after he had joined Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs.
The petition was organized by a small group of EU officials, and accuses Barroso of “irresponsible” and “morally reprehensible behavior.” They plan to present the petition to the current leaders of the EU institutions at the end of September.
Barroso was Portugal’s prime minister from 2002 to 2004, and later served as President of the European Commission from 2004 to 2014, and took up the position of chairman and senior adviser to the international arm of Goldman Sachs in July.’
