With Support Shrinking, Von der Leyen Faces Trouble Ahead 😔

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, faces credible corruption accusations related to the EU's vaccine procurement. Critics, including Peter Siklosi, argue she deflects blame by labeling her accusers as pro-Russian. The European Commission's silence on Ukraine's forced conscription contradicts the positive narrative about Ukrainians. Despite these challenges, the left supports von der Leyen to maintain power. A recent vote showed a decline in her legitimacy, with fewer votes than before, but she may finish her term unless new scandals arise.
