That would be Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, which is "about to assume the rotating presidency of the European Union," reports the NYT.
To bring readers up to speed, this is the man about whom a Communist secret police agent "was most struck by Mr. Klaus' s now famous arrogance," says the Times.
To this day Klaus "continues to provoke strong reactions. He has blamed what he calls the misguided fight against global warming for contributing to the international financial crisis, branded Al Gore an 'apostle of arrogance' for his role in that fight, and accused the European Union of acting like a Communist state."
