Said he was drunk, Juncker tells the truth of his strange appearance

Juncker denied he was drunk and said he had lost balance due to back pain, and the disease known as “sciatica”.

I had back pain, I wasn't drunk. I request respect”, European Commission president said on Wednesday, referring to politicians such as Austrian right-wing Harald Vilymsky, who called for Juncker's resignation after the incident.

Journalists had asked Jean Claude Juncker if he was drunk, because he was seen losing his balance, and walking as if he were drunk several times during the gala evening that was organised at the NATO summit last week.
