Jean-Claude Juncker takes a tumble at EU-Africa Summit. But he's in full health, EU says

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was once again seen struggling to navigate a small set of stairs at a key international summit. The European Commission President, who last week told the Prime Minister the EU would offer no further concessions on her Brexit deal, was seemingly losing his balance and having to be held and helped by a pair of aides. It is the latest of several high-profile events, including a NATO summit, at which the politician has looked unsteady on his feet. The 64-year-old is attending the High-Level Forum Africa-Europe summit in Vienna, Austria. The European Commission dismissed suggestions that the head of the EU executive was in poor health after pictures were published that appeared to show him stumbling at a reception in Vienna. “Photos sometimes lie, as they do in this case,” deputy chief spokeswoman Mina Andreeva told reporters in answer to a question about the Commission president’s health. “The president is in full good health and in full throttle since yesterday evening,” she said of the 64-year-old’s presence at a meeting in the Austrian capital with African leaders. Saying she had just spoken to him, Andreeva said: “He’s all good.” She added that Juncker, as he himself has said, sometimes has pain walking as a result of serious injuries sustained in a car accident 30 years ago. It is not the first time the well-remunerated politician's health and habits have been called into question. This July the European Commission President was attending a dinner at the NATO summit in Brussels attended by US President Donald Trump and a number of other world leaders. Mr Juncker was seen stumbling and swaying to the extent that the presidents of Finland and Ukraine, among others, had to help keep the 63-year-old upright.
