Von der Leyen's Plans for a "Geopolitical" EU Explained

this is missing here : European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged on Thursday to create "a true European Defence Union" over the next five years

This Europe map has a very nice design. Lovely colours, shades and shapes. 6:20

Sounds like most of the eu parliament wanted to avoid the chaos of a leadership campaign

As far as I understand, the European Council, the meeting of the head of states and the head of the Commission, sets the political agenda and the Commission executes that policy. So how much do the Commission's chair plans matter? If the Council wants to go to A, she can't make the EU go to B.

Introduction: The Double Standard of Central Authorities Central authorities are pushing for asset registration, claiming it will increase transparency and combat money laundering and terrorist financing. However, this push highlights a double standard: while demanding transparency from citizens, these governments fail to uphold the same level of transparency and accountability themselves. This push for asset registration underscores the double standard: while demanding transparency from citizens, governments fail to uphold the same level of transparency and accountability themselves. The call for centralized asset registers is a stark reminder of the control and surveillance that central authorities seek to impose, often under the guise of fighting crime. The real question is: who will hold these central authorities accountable for their own lack of transparency and ethical conduct? Only by advocating for decentralized systems can we hope to challenge this imbalance and promote genuine transparency and fairness.

The EU should tighten its grip on immigration and fortify military forces to combat the Russian aggression. Additionally, facilitating growth in cutting-edge technology is also crucial to revitalize and unshackle the stagnating economy of the EU.

The captions call her Fond Lion and I am not hating that.

sucessfull? Germany went from almost beeing all green with cheap Nuclear Energy and Clean Russian Gass. (Cleaner when it comes from pipes instead of LNG) To getting expensive energy made from brown coal and LNG!

So nothing changed.

Since when are S&Ds considered as centrists?

EU Made Simple channel gave a far more precise description, for anyone curious.

I was actually considering purchasing the magazine you presented but the prices are exceedingly high. even the digital version is 14€

I would love to be able to vote for a European Commission President

3:20 I'm by far no fan of Von der Leyen, but you simply cannot expect several top-notch Fabs to be running within a few years. We are talking about the probably most advanced industry on the planet. A single Fab can easily cost beyond 10 billion Euro, the waiting list for EUV equipment is long and nearby universities may have to establish new institutes, so there's enough high-skilled staff available. Intel and Germany are on a pretty good way for the new Fab 29 near Magdeburg (construction is expected to start later this year; €30 bn.), the same applies for ESMC in Dresden (TSMC + Bosch, Infineon and NXP; €10 bn.).

I dont know what i would do if i didnt have tldr news

"We don't have enough young workers to care for retired people!! We need to raise the pension age!" "Reduce reliance on fossil fuels??? Where would our young workers work then?" Either we have a labor shortage or we have a labor excess.

Wierd you don’t talk about the banning of a news outlet in Germany

4:42. Man I wish Texas had those anti-SLAAP laws so our lord Coffeezilla isn't bankrupted by the Logang

While we Italians had our motifs of contrast with Miss von der Leyen, I think she's a capable leader and quite a reliable one also. I have some expectances on her, her programs could be really useful for the Union. As always, we must continue to work togheter now even more than yesterday. Since Germany is in crisis and needs help, France is experiencing some problems too, and the whole Union is under threat of an aggressive Russia that still doesn't want to agree with our terms of peace. And let me be clear: there will be no other terms of peace except those of the European Union. After we was dragged into this war, we MUST show to the world that our Union is not a joke and we are not a force that can be underestimated and ignored. I know that many countries in the Union had friendly relationships with Russia, but right now it is OUR common public imagine and authority under the lights of judgment. So we can not accept anything less that a peace on our terms. We Italians wants specifically this. Peace essentially, but a peace of reason and humanity.
