Varadkar came in eighth place and Hogan came tenth.

Leo Varadkar and Phil Hogan. Leo Varadkar and Phil Hogan. TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR and EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan have made Politico’s list of the 28 most powerful people in Europe.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald was the only Irish person to make the list last year while Minister for Health Simon Harris ranked the year before. By striking a last-minute compromise with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Varadkar has emerged as the face of what EU countries can accomplish when they stand together. It continues to say Varadkar will need to work hard to maintain the support of other leaders “if and when” trade talks continue between the European Union and the UK.
