波京
奧匈帝國末代皇帝卡爾·哈布斯堡（Karl Habsburg）的長子奧托·馮·哈布斯堡（Otto von Habsburg）今天（7月4日）早晨逝世，享年９８歲。據他的一名助手向德新社表示，哈布斯堡是在他位於德國巴伐利亞州斯塔恩貝格湖（Starnberger See）畔小鎮波京（Pocking）的家中“安詳辭世”的。奧托·馮·哈布斯堡生前曾長期擔任歐盟議會議員，並是國際泛歐聯盟榮譽主席。歐盟委員會主席巴羅佐發表聲明稱，奧托·馮·哈布斯堡是一位“偉大的歐洲人”。歐盟議會前議長、德國阿登納基金會現任主席波特林（Hans-Gert Pöttering）稱，奧托·馮·哈布斯堡屬於現時代最不同尋常的人，為消除歐洲分裂作出了不可磨滅的貢獻，在歐洲面臨巨大挑戰的今天，他對歐洲必須統一的不可動搖的信念仍是一種警示。

Political career
Since 1986, von Habsburg has been president of the Austrian branch of the Paneuropean Union. After studying law for 12 years, in 1992/1993 he temporarily had a TV game show with Austrian public TV broadcaster ORF, called Who is Who.[2][3] In October 1996, he was elected to the European Parliament for the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). Two years later, it emerged that the ÖVP's election campaign had benefitted from 30,000 Euros of World Vision donation money via Paneurope Austria while von Habsburg sat on the board of World Vision Austria, apparently without noticing the director's dubious activities.[4] His father exacerbated the situation when he complained that his son was being attacked unfairly and drew a parallel between the name "Habsburg" and a yellow badge.[4] ÖVP did not nominate von Habsburg again for the 1999 elections.[5][2] In 2004, von Habsburg paid 37,000 Euros to the new World Vision Austria branch.[5]On 19 January 2002, he was appointed Director General of UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization) by the UNPO Steering Committee.[6] Since 7 December 2008, he is the President of the Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield.[7]
