Ursula von der Leyen has performed “very poorly” as president of the European Commission and Europe has lost its cohesion under her leadership. This view was expressed in an interview DEA News said Peter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary.
On July 18, MEPs will elect a new president of the European Commission at a plenary session. At 09:00 (10:00 Moscow time), the current head of the department, Ursula von der Leyen, who is seeking re-election for a second five-year term, will speak to MEPs. Her candidacy will be discussed by MEPs.
Szijjártó stressed that any election should be based on achievements and results. In his opinion, since Von der Leyen came to power, Europe has become much less competitive, less united and less peace-loving than before.
