The “end of history” is and Europe is experiencing a “transatlantic crisis,” says Ursula von der Leyen, former Angela Merkel acolyte became the supreme European Commission.
“Another, new European Union” is necessary to shape the “new world order” that comes out of power struggles between the United States, China and Russia, said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, a German newspaper.
Talking with DieThe Top Euroccrat expressed its interpretation of the events that “the West, as we knew, no longer exists”, stating that beyond the old understanding of which countries were western and what not, the European Union is now a new order “the United Arab Emirates, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and South America.
Requested by Die Whether he is now the leader of the western world, President Trump is back in office, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel had called the same for the liberal of Europe in Trump’s first mandate, and if the EU is the main guarantor of Western values of Western values, an old order had fallen and a new one is being created. She said: “When the wall fell in 1990, the end of the story was proclaimed.
“Now history has returned, and so are geopolitics. And we see what we had perceived as a world order is becoming a worldwide disorder, caused no less important for the struggle of power between China and the United States, but, of course, it is that by the European Potin Albotion Union that is ready to go out to the great world and play a very active role in the configuration of this new world order.”
The comments of Von der Leyen through which they are full of criticisms implicit to the Trump administration without mentioning it by name, with repeated statements that the European Union offers a refuge for the duration of the duration of the global change.
This is an extremely charitable take, without a doubt, but not totally without merit: the European Union is so informed with the buralcracia that is incapable or a rapid change by design. On the one hand, this could give an external stability impression, in the other when flash crisis appears, its members are becoming a battery to get out of the EU structures to agree rapid solutions among things while Brussels is updated.
Such implicit criticism was for the United States from all angles. Among the claims of Von der Leyen were that many democracies in Europe are so new, they are better democracies because the fear of authoritarianism from Europe of this communist to the fascist Iberia exists in living memory. With this comes the tacit statement that American democracy weakens because it has centuries of antiquity and its voters do not understand what is at stake.
However, despite the blows in the United States and President Trump, the Top Eurocrat said that he feels herself a “great friend of the United States of America, an Atlantic convinced. I firmly believe that the friendship between Americans.”
Ursula von der Leyen was the notoriously poor Minister of Defense of Germany under Chancellor Angela Merkel. In 2019, he demonstrated his aptitude for the upper European position with the essential ability to fall up, directly by that ministry to the president of the European Commission.
