The President of the European Commission led the Brussels delegation at the EU-China summit in Beijing. At the same time, she was supposed to be in Rio de Janeiro to sign a free trade agreement with South American countries, but that didn’t happen as the visit fell through. There are many indications that nothing will come of the agreement, which has been negotiated for 24 years.

– Trillions of euros and new taxes for the climate change madness. Ursula von der Leyen wants to impose further taxes on humanity
Ursula von der Leyen is an air disaster. A few days ago she was at the Dubai Climate Summit, where she informed humanity about the trillions of euros needed to plan the Earth’s climate and new global taxes for this purpose. EU nationals learned that the prices of CO2 emissions allowances and so-called CO2 taxes on goods imported from outside the Community will rise, making these goods and energy more expensive again.
After enlightening humanity in Dubai with her visions, she began to prepare for her journey to Rio de Janeiro. There, after 24 years of negotiations, a trade agreement was finally signed between the EU and the Mercosur zone. The name comes from Mercado Común del Sur (Common Market of the South) and refers to the economic union of South American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and associated members – Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Guyana, Colombia, Peru and Suriname. Venezuela’s membership is currently suspended.
The Mercosur countries want to create a common internal market in South America, with uniform legal rules and free exchange of services, capital and types of goods, as well as free access for workers to the labor markets of both countries. About the way it used to be in the EU, without all that bureaucracy, one German-French policy and ideological madness like climateism or LGBT, something like that
The Mercosur countries produce 67 percent of South America’s GDP and are home to 62 percent of the continent’s population. If there were an agreement between countries and the EU, the largest free trade area in the world would be created, covering 780 million people.
But despite 24 years of negotiations, no negotiations took place. The agreement will not be signed, at least for the time being, although Jean Claude Juncker, then President of the European Commission, called Juncker – drunk in Brussels due to his tendencies also at work, already announced a great success in 2019.
We stand before you as proud co-owners of the trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur. I like to use words carefully, but this is truly a historic moment. Work on this agreement lasted twenty years. The negotiations started 20 years ago – on June 28, 1999 in Rio de Janeiro! They were long and often difficult. We were already close, but today we finally made it
– he boasted at the EU-Japan summit in Osaka. It was there that humanity learned about the monumental agreement: Juncker wanted to dazzle the Japanese with the splendor of the EU.
The years fly by and now Ursula von der Leyen is supposed to fly to Rio de Janeiro, where the Mercosur summit is taking place, to supposedly sign something again. However, the visit was canceled at the last minute and Brussels was told that there had been no agreement for the time being. The excuse given was that the wrong president, Javier Milei, had been elected in Argentina.
The reasons are of course completely different. The EU imposes its bureaucracy, as Brazilian Foreign Trade Minister Tatiana Prazeres said at the conference, and in its arrogance it always squeezes ideology into such agreements: sustainable development taking into account climate change, wants to tell Brazilians how to manage their forests, etc. . They themselves, these poor, non-European ignorance, do not know how to care for them.
This goes so far (EU interference and demands) that our authority and ability to monitor and assess the situation ourselves is questioned.
– said the President of Paraguay, Santiago Pena, quoted by the Argentine newspaper “Ambito Financiero”. And he concluded:
For me this means a loss of sovereignty and that is practically unacceptable.
How do we know this, what does it remind us of?
The agreement itself raises many doubts: Europe’s food producers have good reason to worry, as the country would be flooded with goods from South America. Let’s ignore the substantive assessment. It’s about something else: this incredible pride and arrogance, but also pathological incompetence. This is about perpetually lecturing others and shuffling around helplessly. For announcing successes where there are failures. Just like in the summer, when Von der Leyen flew to Tunis to supposedly sign a major deal with Tunisia to help fight human smuggling gangs and stop illegal immigration. As soon as she returned, Tunisia launched thousands of boats carrying illegal immigrants in a regatta on Lampedusa, Italy, the local Foreign Ministry did not allow the EU delegation to enter the country and President Kaise Saied announced that he must be overthrown and that his country the EU has to put its handouts somewhere in its pocket.
In October, Australia broke off talks on a trade deal with the EU. The reason was again the arrogance of the EU high state and the imposition of bureaucratic EU norms and procedures. The Eurocrats were especially interested in this agreement because in 2021 the British, who had fled the EU’s collective farm, signed theirs.
In such conditions of constant disaster, Ursula von der Leyen, instead of flying to Rio de Janeiro, flew to China. She wanted to do it straight from Brazil – she cleverly designed it to impress the Chinese, just like Juncker did with the Japanese. She would come in all white and that was it: throw the Mercosur agreement on the table to the speechless Asians to mollify them. And it turned out as usual.
Reports and available recordings of conferences and speeches show that von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, staged a festival of lamentations and dire threats in Beijing.
It was a cry that the Middle Kingdom bought too little from the EU and sold too much.
It was an opportunity (summit with China) to present our concerns and expectations to the Chinese leaders
– she said at a press conference in Beijing.
This mainly concerns trade with China. This amounts to 840 billion euros annually. There was also talk of a trade imbalance that is crucial for the EU – as the president put it. The EU’s annual deficit amounts to 400 billion euros. It has increased tenfold in twenty years and doubled in the last two years.
President Von der Leyen blamed China for this turn of events. It’s about the lack of access to the local market, the preferential treatment of local companies (how could it be different?) and note: China’s excessive production capacity. As some markets close off to Chinese products – the president did not mention the United States – this excess production is being sent to Europe. I’m not making this up, that’s what she said.
And now the best, or rather the dumbest:
European leaders will not tolerate our industrial base being undermined by unfair competition.
China’s protective policies and use of dumping are all true, but few people take as much credit for “undermining Europe’s industrial base” as China and the EU’s rulers, as well as enlightened, progressive leaders like Macron, Merkel, Scholz and entire families and generations of racial eurocracy. It is they who, thanks to the madness and bureaucracy of climate change, have made it possible for anyone to move their business outside the Community, often to China, or to order goods there. Even the production of what should be the EU’s eco-wonders, the pride of the Community – electricity-generating windmills and photovoltaic panels, took place mainly there. The Middle Kingdom produces 90% of the panels and six of the ten largest wind turbine companies are located there. There are two in Europe.
Ursula von der Leyen cries for the European – especially German – car industry, which provides 14 million jobs, as it is now being wiped out by Chinese competition. This mainly concerns cheap electric cars. It’s so important that she even talked about it in her State of the Union address. And now there is a whole baggage of failed cases, such as the above-mentioned agreements with Australia, or Mercosur going to China to demand, make demands and even make pathetic threats.
Does she think the Chinese didn’t know who they were dealing with, that she didn’t even fly to Brazil to sign this unfortunate deal that had been under negotiation for 24 years? And her boastful performances full of self-aggrandizement, these clumsy hands waving. Let’s ignore the disastrous economic policies burdened with the madness of climateism. She cannot arrange anything or make an appointment. He is a joke, the embodiment of helplessness and incompetence. The President of the European Commission is responsible for trade agreements. This is her responsibility and that of Commissioner Dombrovskis. Of course, she is only the highlight, the icing on the cake of this Brussels system of stupidity and impossibility. The world laughs at the EU, makes fun of its leaders, mocks them and humiliates them, something Von der Leyen himself has often experienced. This woman and her family bring shame to us.
Let’s look at all this from yet another perspective. During the Climate Summit in Dubai, where she spoke about new tariffs and trillions for climate change, Putin arrived in the capital of the Emirates, Abu Dhabi, barely 140 km away. There he was royally received. From there he flew to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. When he returned to Moscow, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi came to visit him.
You can cry and complain that the leaders of that region of the world are building relations with this bloody tyrant and torturer, but you cannot be surprised. The West wants to finish off the Arab states, North Africa and the Persian Gulf. And the leaders don’t even realize it. What will these countries do if they cannot sell oil because Von der Leyen, Trzaskowski or Greece have their obsessions? What will 500 million people in these parts of the world do? But that’s for another story.
And how should the EU oppose all these actions of the dictator? That flying around, always satisfied, pretentious wretch von de Leyen and all that corrupt, arrogant Brussels society? Your hands fall and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry when you see the pride and helplessness of the rulers of Europe, the subsequent defeats. It’s the same on the other side of the Atlantic. Eh!
