Do you know who Jacques Delors is? The surname is familiar, but few people remember what he did. Well, have you seen euro money? Have you heard of a united Europe? By the way, this is all the work of Delors. Of course, the EU was invented before him, and the money was introduced after him. But it was Delors, who headed the European Commission (the most important pan-European executive body) from 1985 to 1995, who did everything so that a united Europe would begin to unite not only in theory, but also in practice. And it all started, according to the English journalist Charles Grant, in 1916, when during the battle for Verdun, the French soldier Louis Delors was seriously wounded and almost died. Louis Delors' son Jacques, born in 1925, saw the purpose of his life in preventing a repeat of the nightmare of the Franco-German conflict. He began to fulfill his plan after the Second World War.
The story of Delors is the story of an honest official. French Catholic socialist. I did not study at the university, immediately after school I went to work and worked diligently. Made a career. And along with the main work, he also rose along the trade union line. I tried to occupy such positions where you can benefit people and society. Finally, under Mitterrand, he first became the Minister of Economics, and then took up pan-European affairs. Began to unite Europe. In the end, Delors retired, but his work lives on. He lived an instructive life, and his biography came out pathetic and even pompous. In some places it is not clear who is more to blame here: the author or the translator. To whom do we owe such an amazing phrase as "work in the FCTH (French Confederation of Christian Workers) brought Delors together with the great and good that the French left carried with them." Praising Delors' reforms, Grant does not spare black colors, describing the depraved customs that prevailed among the officials of European departments before the arrival of his hero. "In Brussels, Commissioners need not be intimidated by the indiscreet curiosity of friends, relatives and neighbors, and this, presumably, explains why the institution itself is considered something like a baisodrome (a French slang term for a place where flirting flourishes)."
However, all this is particular - although not quite corresponding to the character of Delors himself, who, perhaps, was not such a brilliant theorist of a united Europe as Jean Monnet, but was a harsh practitioner, thanks to which Europe somehow united. Therefore, his biography is to a large extent the biography of a united Europe, including the history of quarrels and disputes, victories and defeats, retreats and moving forward.
