Former president: boring

One unverified report sent to the Berlaymonster this week suggests that Ion Iliescu, former president of Romania, failed to capture the imagination of a group of MA students in Brussels.

Once his hour-long speech had been read out, the floor was opened to questions. Despite the sixty-strong gathering, not one single question was posed by the floor.

The situation was remedied by the conference organiser posing his own question. Iliescu answered at (great) length.
