In Europe everything has changed so that nothing changes. Those who hoped that the European vote would be able to change the posture of Old Europe regarding the Ukraine/Russia dossier can put their hearts at rest. Nothing will change. The elections for the European Parliament went exactly as “The Economist” had predicted, ten days before the vote. The sovereign right wins but does not win overwhelmingly. The bible of financial globalism titled the edition of last May 30th: “The three women who will shape Europe”. A clear reference to the President of the EU Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, to the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and to the leader of the French sovereign right, Marina Le Pen.
In reality, there are and will be five women in charge in Europe in the next legislature which opens in mid-July. The pink power of European politics must take into account Roberta Metsola, president of the Brussels parliament who is aiming for reconfirmation and Kaja Kallas, the Estonian prime minister who aspires to become the EU High Representative for foreign policy. Kallas is one of the staunchest supporters of pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia issues in Europe.
It was the Economist itself that dictated the political agenda of where Europe should go. The turbo-capitalist magazine owned by the Rothschild and Elkann families reminds the European elite that “In a dangerous world, comfortable old Europe finds itself in an alarming position. The bloodiest war on the continent since 1945 rages in Ukraine, while Russia poses a threat to cyberspace, from the Baltics. If Donald Trump returns to the White House, he could undermine NATO, the foundation of European security. The continent’s economy is vulnerable to shocks caused by industrial policy and protectionism elsewhere. Eurosceptic populists are gaining ground in the polls.”
To face these dangers, Europe needs – the Economist sermon continues – “coherent leadership at a European level. It must also keep extremists out of power. The success depends in part on the choices of three women: Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, Giorgia Meloni, Italian prime minister, and Marine Le Pen, the leading French populist.”
Who knows why, in the editorial of the British weekly there was no mention whatsoever of French President Emmanuel Macron and German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz? In the London editorial team they will certainly have a precise and functional crystal ball to predict the future.
Let’s try to understand the data and what the future balance of the European Parliament will be. Throughout Europe the right and far right are advancing heavily, so much so as to cause political earthquakes in many countries. In France, President Emmanuel Macron is sending the country to early elections. A desperate move. In Germany the extreme right of Alternative für Deutschland (Afd) overtakes the Socialist Party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In Germany, according to the first projections, the majority of seats went to the European People’s Party, but in second place was the extreme right of Alternative für Deutschland (Afd), which overtook the Socialist Party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Same right wind in Greece. In France, the success of the projections in the European elections of Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement national pushed President Emmanuel Macron to immediately dissolve the National Assembly (the French parliament) and call new consultations, which will take place in two rounds, on 30 June and July 7, to form a new government. Belgium’s Prime Minister Alexander De Croo has also decided to resign after his party, the Liberals, according to initial projections, achieved a disappointing result in the European elections.
The new European Parliament will therefore be moved further to the right, but not by much compared to the current structure, which should not put the classic government alliance between popular, socialists and liberals at risk. In Brussels there are those who are even convinced that the games on the famous “top jobs”, i.e. the four main EU positions, are already over, with Ursula von der Leyen on her way to reconfirmation as the most prestigious position, that of President of the Commission . But what blows things up is what is happening in the varied universe of the European right, in particular in France and Italy. And here the will of the five women who could shape the near future of Europe come into play.
The first is the aforementioned von der Leyen. The “Queen of the Berlaymont”, (the building which houses the EU executive), seems to have emerged strengthened from the European elections. His party, the EPP, not only triumphed at the polls, but also strengthened its position as kingmaker in Strasbourg. In the European Parliament, the People’s Party have the numbers to be able to deal the cards, choosing from time to time whether to leverage the formal alliance with socialists and liberals (and perhaps greens), or whether to team up with backroom agreements with the right, in in particular with the ECR of the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as has already happened in recent years. A Eurochamber with variable majorities was the project of Manfred Weber, the German politician who leads the EPP, and the European vote seems to have put all the pieces in place for him, including the weakening of the weight of French President Emmanuel Macron.
Precisely the troubles of Macron, dealing with early elections in the hot weeks in which the top jobs could be decided, could pave the way for von der Leyen: the Transalpine leader had shown reservations about the hypothesis of a second mandate for the German, and ran rumor that his candidate for the leadership of the Commission was Mario Draghi. The collapse of consensus at the European elections, however, does not seem to give him space for his well-known behind-the-scenes political games, such as those which in 2019 led to the election of von der Leyen (to the detriment of Weber, designated by the EPP).
If Von Der Leyen remains the “queen of the Berlaymont”, the framework of the other important positions in the EU could easily be put together by the end of the month. The current president of Parliament Roberta Metsola, also from the EPP, should be reconfirmed. The liberals could obtain the nomination of the EU High Representative for foreign policy, with the Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, among the greatest supporters of Ukraine. To close the puzzle, the socialist position, that of the president of the European Council, which would go to the Portuguese Antonio Costa.
This scheme, they say in Brussels, could favor rapid negotiations between political forces and EU governments, and avoid long negotiations and tensions within the bloc at a time when Europe needs unity in the face of the war in Ukraine and the risk of find Donald Trump at the helm of the USA in a few months. But the European right is in turmoil, and wants to have its weight in the architecture of EU power. This is why all eyes are on Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen. The Italian leader has the fact of being prime minister on her side, and therefore of having a vote to spend on the table that counts most for deciding the top jobs, that of the European Council. Le Pen wants to exploit the electoral success in the European elections, the possible encore in the early vote in France, and the good relations with Meloni (but also with the Dutchman Geert Wilders) to influence the games in Brussels.
Nothing will change, therefore, about the anti-humanist and warmongering strategies of the European Union. In foreign policy, Brussels remains a faithful vassal of the Atlantic Alliance, at an extremely delicate moment in the relationship with Russia. On the internal political level, the new unchanged political structure will continue to pursue those policies that are demolishing the agriculture sector and are activating increasingly invasive social digitalisation paths. The votes of European citizens, as always, count for little or nothing.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
what did you expected ? the eu denazifying itself ? anyway , given how much shit their economic policy is, these people are braiding the rope that will hang them in fine …
alot of people here dont want the war in ukraine but our leaders are soros funded the united states has alot of influence as well and the juus control our media its very hard to remove these pro war parties from our government coalitions unfortunately. as a citizen you can do very little but vote and try to wake up enough people and it has had a effect but not enough to have a real change and remove these young global leader wef puppets
ursula fond of lying does not reign anything. she, aka the comission, is nothing but the mouthpiece for the coreper, the true ruling body of the eu.
just like stoltenberg is not the “chief” of nato. the head of nato is always one of our american generals.
but the eurotards will never understand this. guillable clowns.
like the gullible clown people in us that let the dual citizens rule your country, haha
you have to be born in the us to become the president or schwarzenegger was elected long time ago like another poor (but charismatic) actor ronnie r.
that’s not true at all. people vote them into power and people are brainwashed into voting for them with scare tactics. von der lyen’s job is to intimidate and smear dissidents. in the name of democracy, dissent and democracy are forbidden. look at hungary who doesn’t want to be part of the war. the democratically elected government is under pressure. in eu democracy, you are not allowed to disagree.
nobody voted von der leyen into office. she was appointed by merkel after the vote for timmermans was considered inadequate for it, with specific emphasis on “needing a strong leader for european defense”.
nato leadership is appointed and i can’t find anywhere by whom.
never quite sure whether von der leyen is pre op or post op?
she was put in power before the war in ukraine started as a “european defense hardliner”, so pre op.
the only good thing about the war in ukraine is that in the end this will also destroy the eu which is a cancer on europe and the people living in sovereign countries. i can’t wait for russia to destroy that replica of the tower of babel in brussels.
that replica in in strasbourg in france.
don’t argue, but simply destroy both cities, he-he. and hague too.
amen to that brother. project europe has its roots in nazism, and does it not show for all who have eyes to see.
i have heard of this idea before, but don’t understand how this will happen. how do you think the war in ukraine “will destroy the eu” ? how will this happen, in practical terms?
the eu is the most corrupt and corruptible criminal organisation in modern history. the commission has no democratic accountability, each member is appointed; all of them abject failures in their previous jobs. it’s the last chance gravy train, and their snouts are well and truly pushed deep into the trough.
congenitally thick, and a born nzi, unelected ursula albrecht fits this stereotype perfectly, having left a trail of ruin wherever she goes (ask germany’s defence ministry).
queen ursula is currently trying to avoid investigations over her role in agreeing at least 1.8bn (i have read reports of this being up to 4bn) vaxx doses she agreed with pfizer (2021) and 300m+ pa further annual vaxx doses she signed (2023). of course her husband’s firm benefits.
f**k knows what other grubby schemes she has her paws in, but it’s a fair bet that they involve ukraine. all that money, none of it ever accountable – just how the eu has run its business for decades
didn’t the germans also investigate her, with regards corruption, when she was the german defence minister? seems, she learnt well and carried on.
you’ll find i covered her ruinous stint as german defence minister in my first comment.
never mind, there’s still plenty to choose from. the 2016 revelation of plagiarism in her doctoral dissertation was hilarious, as merkel scrambled to avoid a government scandal.
it was agreed in the end there had been ‘no intent to deceive’, and ursula’s plagiarism “..was a mistake, not misconduct”.
the elites can do nothing wrong.
the are irrelevant as the entire eu and nato is and has been that does f-uku$ business. the question remains… why russia stays in the union of the un when their vote has no power in stopping anything over the last 10 year post maidan 2014.
when does russia summon the courage to finally leave the wh0reh0u$e/casino counting the ways why it must leaves starting with the downing of the kursk…
cia/mi6 involvement in chechnya that facilitated unrestrained terrorism inside russia throughout the 90s and beyond…
the beslan massacre… maidan 2014… crocus hall 2024 and assassination of it’s diplomats like vitaly churkin and andrei karlov… ???
bolsheviks – 1917. when the soviet union was dismantled, the bolsheviks were running the eu and working on the us.
but churkin wasn’t assassinated, it’s ambassador karlov was shot in turkey. ambassador of the us in lybia was shot and raped before death. revenge of lgbt gangsters.
who says churkin was assassinated -through poison! he died in manhattan at un headquarters. the bbc certainly alluded to him being taken out. and with some speculation that he alerted the security council that yanukovitch did in fact sos the russian federation for help -which putin denied?…
no proofs. bbc (news branch) — british bullshit corporation. i’ve read it in comments on “youtube” 15 years ago, but nothing has changed.
the info regarding the letter that churkin was going to read at the un just before he died concerning yanukovitch’s pleas for assistance from the russian federation didn’t come from the bbc and you know it!… and just like the u.$. state dept informing it’s american personnel to be weary of large pulic gatherings 2 weeks before crocus hall… what did the russian p know? and when did he know it?
he already did it, it was the letter from yanukovich with request to enter troops and save his presidency.
what would happen if russia left the un? who would veto the us, uk and france? best thing is to dismantle un and start something else, with a different location and more reflective of current times.
how well is russia’s veto vote been working for them since 2014?…
the un has needed to be dismantled since the end of the “cold war”. russia had an opportunity 20 years ago when iraq and afghanistan were being “balkanized and looted by f-uku$, followed by libya, syria, yemen and of course ukraine…
and here we are in our post-9/11 apocalypse 22 years later only leading to the gates of wwiii that could have been avoided had russia separated itself to start a campaign for it’s own un with the support of the briics as a leader of a free and fair world with it’s energy!
europe is under control of a bureaucracy club ( eu ) protected by nato ( usa)
nato led by the kiddies from the days of ‘operation paperclip’. bolsheviks – national communists that were created by city of london. nazis – national socialists, also a creation from the city of london. same crowd, different faces, running ths same script today.
gernany pays for my children 300 euro per month. angela merkel is best. thats,why i live in germany as an arab
your a welfare migrant. you leech of the backs of hard working germans because their government has been run by traitors since 1945 when the victors imposed that on them. i hate ursula i hate sand people like you if germany had a based government sand people like you would be deported back to the middle east
that’s a white man you idiot. you think that’s actually a migrant in germany writing? nazis are f*cking stupid l. hahaha
germany women are best
english ate superior though.
aha, i like, very good.
i hope the europeans can get their ship in one sock.
i lick 3 amerikan diek yesterday—west europe is now decayed dictatorship
in my amerikan colony we are fully americanized—we worship money and believe coca cola is freedom
euro neanderthals are under occupation by anglo amerukunt jackboots. enjoy that dark future. we need to wall off europe from the rest of the world, the amerikunt wasteland
i worship amerikunt dollar cuz i well trained submissive moron like my ex husband nazi saxon
von der lugen or madame genocide is in a slaveowning family on her grandmother’s side (north carolina) and being born albrecht close close to the nazis of the 1930s up to 1950. it’s a disgrace that such vermin with such background managed to slither all the way to the top floor in brussels. no merkel you are not excused!
i offer vandernaziyan my potato to sniff her diarrea
women in charge; a major f*ck up….
von der lying is an over-hyped kindergarten teacher acting as a political person. the way erdogan brazenly ignored her at a conference a while back not even shaking her hand or making her sit on a couch all by herself pretty much summed it up. on the contrary, the old fox seemed to respect and like meloni discernibly better.
how could anything change when the left, the center and the right are clamoring for continued support for ukraine. and at the same time they don’t see how it distances all investments and trade from the eu.
who dares to do business with states that arbitrarily confiscate property if you are a citizen of the wrong country? and in addition, they also prevent movement and trade. not just shooting yourself in the foot, but shooting yourself in the head.
people have been brainwashed for years to hate russia. when discussing the staging, orban’s revelations, angela merkel’s and the usa’s inner circle’s confessions do not seem to matter. bucha’s staging is a highlight. although there is evidence that it was staged. those who see the eu is harming themselves will not get into leadership positions. they are slandered as opponents of europe and friends of putin.
1. it’s all a circus show. only 1 out of 10 french in age of voting voted for the false opposition far right movement rassemblement national; it’s a pathetic figure. the french rn are pro-eu, pro-nato, pro-euro and for the war against russia. just like meloni in italy they will renegade on their anti-immigrant stance as soon as put into power; and they only pester on illegal immigration, which is 10% of total immigration while 90% of immigration is through eu policy.
2. macron’s dissolution of the french assembly is a ploy to try to get a center/left block majority in parliament (which he does not have now) by a supposed “union of the left” against “the dangerous threat of fascism and of the nazis” at the doorstep of power.
the eu leadership are running on paint fumes and emotionz! knee jerk reactions is no way to get thru life, son
look at those faces…..they are faces of failure. i am not worried about the global south. they are up against a class of complete and utter fools
you need to understand how powerful the mainstream media and their propaganda is and all the lying and demonizing they do of parties who oppose their leftard woke pro climatenazi pro war agenda. so the results are good as they get. soros funds many political parties including volt europe and renew europe and many climatenazi parties. afd and le pen dont have get such funding and help from the media they get demonized. so the results are very good.
i hope that von der leyen can be ousted she had blood on her hands for the conflict in ukraine and the clothshot she personally with her husband who produces them profited from in the billions. she wanted to prosecute people who didnt take the poison clothshot. shes a criminal. she is deindustrializing germany and half of europe and destroying our farmers so we loose our energy and food security.
i hope that von der leyen can be ousted she has blood on her hands for the conflict in ukraine and the clothshot she personally profited from the clothshot. she wanted to prosecute people who didnt take the clothshot. she is deindustrializing germany and half of europe and destroying our farmers so we loose our food security. she fully supports biden who sabotaged our gas pipeline. biden blewup the pipe so then us could profit from selling lpg gas to keep their dollar
of paramount importance is that the corrupt von der lugen or madam genocide is eliminated before there is a formal process to find the next president for eu. she must not be allowed to take part. guess it’s too much to wish that iran will issue a fat fatwa on her head.
we are submissive amerikuntized—normal for us…russia proves we are impotent degenerates
nothing wrong with degeneracy–we worship money
hey hey le pen get your fingers round madame genocides neck and throttle the life out of her, for europe and the world!
the irony for all the talk about european “democracy” is that both napoleon and hitler wanted exactly what the eu has a it’s structure
