Except the ones who founded the EU:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Schuman#World_War_II

Note how softly it is put on Wikipedia, what he did, today. He "was in charge of refugees", not even mentioning the tiny little detail that he was in charge of refugees during the Nazi takeover of France. What he did was help the Nazis detain and deport tens of thousands of French citizens, as well letting cripples and mentally ill people, including children, freeze and starve to death (and worse). Yes he betrayed the Nazis afterwards, before the end of the war, and was let in government ... because there were a lot of Nazi collaborators and actual Nazis left in the postwar French government who were needed to rebuild France and needed to be reassured they wouldn't be hunted down like they deserved.

He is also the closest thing we have to the founder of the EU.

Oh and if you think this is the only EU leader that could be criticized for past decisions, including for killing their own countrymen, guess again.
