European Parliament Conflict, Jean-Claude Juncker, Technocracy
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker sparked a confrontation in the European Parliament by calling the body "ridiculous" after only 30 members attended a session. The incident highlights the power struggle between unelected technocrats and the largely advisory Parliament, echoing themes from Jacques Ellul's "The Technological Society."
