Ursula von der Leyen’s tenure as the European Commission president has been the “worst” in years due to her “warmongering” and insensitive handling of migration, the president of the Party of European Left, Walter Baier, told Euractiv, confirming that the party is against her possible second term.
FTFY
Besides that point, what i dont know anything about:
she was also shit minister during her time in german politics. She was part of Merkels CDU which spent their decades in the government slowly fucking up most things they touched either through bovine inaction, or grossly misrepresenting our best interests for lobby money and corruption.
VDL herself was seen as one of the worst ministers of defense, grossly mismanaging funds, abusing her station and kicking off a corruption scandal all by herself.
Same thing for other positions she’s held.
Don’t form your opinion on a politician by a single action, or even worse, purely by political allegiance.
She was but in the EU she is actually nowhere near as bad as I expected back when she was elected based on her history. And for someone with former military related posts she really isn’t anything close to war-mongering.
Moreover - the EU has no military. Not a single soldier.
Shhh, don’t tell the Brits or they might try to rejoin.
The “EU army” was apparently a big thing during the referendum.
J/k, I’d love to see the UK back in the bloc.
Me too. But I think it won’t happen for several decades - they’re too proud to admit they fucked up. Those that voted to leave and apparently most politicians, at least.
It’s not about Ukraine, it’s about Israel vs hamas.
