Wolfowitz Slovenia trip has corruption focus
The Wolfowitz Resign bloggers have a nice piece pointing out the irony of World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz traveling to Slovenia next week to present an award for an essay competition on corruption. They comment: "we assume this means he is leaving his fine sense of irony at home". Some Europe-based World Bank staff are evidently very uncomfortable with the situation they find themselves in. As we recorded last week's education conference in Brussels was a major missed opportunity because Wolfowitz's presence diverted all attention to the drama at the top of the Bank. Luckily, however, we should be in the last few days of such a situation. That ticket to Slovenia will almost certainly have to be cancelled. In the unlikely event that Paul Wolfowitz finds a way to hang on till then, this site will bring you full coverage of the corruption essay prize handover: one of our intrepid bloggers plans to be there.
