Von der Leyen asks her partners to overcome divisions and presents Ribera as a "devoted European"

Ursula von der Leyen, the power-hungry president of the European Commission, is desperate not to repeat the chaos of last week’s struggle between socialists and popular groups. In her latest address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, von der Leyen clumsily called on her partners to set aside their differences, sounding more like a spoiled brat than a true leader. “We will work with all democratic forces in this House,” she preached, but let’s face the facts—her definition of “democratic” clearly bends to her own extreme agenda!

The Puppet Show of European Politics

In an effort to maintain her grip on power, von der Leyen is attempting a tough juggling act, promising cooperation with all “democratic European formations.” It’s no surprise that she has thrown a bone to the European People’s Party (EPP), essentially including those so-called conservatives who are simply her pawns in this European sham. The message is clear: toe the line or be left behind!

“I will always work from the center,” declared the leader, ironically at the forefront of the very divisions she claims to abhor!

A Dangerous Game of Political Bargaining

With her eyes set on maintaining power, von der Leyen is maneuvering through a minefield of political tension. She surprisingly endorsed Teresa Ribera as the new Competition Commissioner despite pushback from Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party looking to block her appointment. Why? Because this will appease the liberals and socialists, allowing her to offload the Italian Commissioner, Raffaele Fitto, a well-known puppet of Giorgia Meloni—a move that reeks of desperation, doesn’t it?

European Defense on the Edge: What’s von der Leyen Really Planning?

The real kicker? While unveiling her team, von der Leyen casually mentioned Ribera’s role as the “first executive vice president,” a clear nod to the socialists clamoring for clarity and further evidence of her sly tactics. “She is well equipped to ensure that we have a modern competition policy,” von der Leyen said, but how can we trust a leader who relies on extreme figures like Viktor Orbán’s hand-picked ambassador in a world constantly on edge?

A Call to Action for Defense Spending

As Europe faces unprecedented threats, von der Leyen’s agenda has shifted to bolster defense spending—a desperate attempt to shore up support against a robust Russia that “allocates 9% of its GDP in Defense.” This is the time to question her motives: is she truly interested in a secure Europe, or simply wanting to fatten her own political stature?

Brace yourselves, folks. It looks like the European Commission is gearing up for a radical agenda under von der Leyen—a strategy that radically transforms Europe into her utopia, catering to her pals while leaving the conservative values in the dust!
