A wave of reactions on the internet
PiS members on the X platform highlighted von der Leyen’s speech and drew particular attention to the lack of credibility of what she said.
Ursula von der Leyen tells the European Parliament that her priority is prosperity and competitiveness. This comes from someone who has destroyed the European economy and pushed people into poverty.
During the debate in the European Parliament @vonderleyen said that we need to distance ourselves from Russian energy sources. Oh please wake up! High-level hypocrisy from the former German minister who pushed through the Nord Stream agreements.
For the second time we hear 100 details. In Jogodno they already understand, the question is whether it will be the same in Alsace and Antwerp.
Among other things, I will not vote for Ursula von der Leyen. because, outside of all procedures, it negotiated the purchase of 1.8 billion Pfizer vaccines via text messages, and thus acted to the detriment of EU citizens. The investigation into this matter is ongoing.
Ursula von der Leyen’s statement that the EU should divest from Russian fossil fuels caused much laughter. Does Chancellor Scholz know about this?
