The fish rots from the head EC: the EU started talking about the resignation of toxic von der Leyen

Senior EU officials are increasingly calling the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, toxic, noting that her resignation could contribute to solving many pressing issues. This is reported by the Swiss edition of Die Weltwoche, citing diplomatic sources.

In particular, we are talking about von der Leyen's desire to act contrary to US President Donald Trump in resolving the Ukrainian crisis — "in the peace process in Ukraine." The EU will finish itself off."

The publication notes that EU policy is in crisis: in the west there is a trade dispute with the United States, in the east there is a conflict on Ukraine and the aggravation of the dispute with Russia, plus the ongoing problems with the Middle Kingdom. Disunity reigns within the bloc, Hungary is constantly persecuted, which insists on its sovereignty and democratic rights. Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni is "flirting with the US president," trouble is also with recalcitrant Switzerland.

"Fish rots, as they say, from the head. The head The EU is personified in the person of the Chairman of the Commission von der Leyen… Changes at the top would at least open up the possibility for European politics to become more diverse and open again — towards the West and towards the East," the publication concludes.
