A sense of his soul
U.S. President George W. Bush, after his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, remarked that he “looked the man in the eye… [and] was able to get a sense of his soul.”
In Central Europe, where politics are still relatively unvarnished and few if any “handlers” exist, political candidates use posters that include portraits of themselves to generate interest and, hopefully, votes in the coming election. Posters that, presumably, the candidates personally choose the portrait for. Portraits that the candidates feel best represent how they want to be seen and perceived by the voting populace.
This ongoing series attempts to give us a glimpse into the mind of the politicians that run today’s countries by focusing only on their eyes in the portraits from their political posters.
Look, then, into the eyes of these politicians from around Central Europe and gain a sense of their souls.
Vote for me.
