No matter what anyone thinks about Ursula von der Leyen, she has led Europe through very difficult crises. Whether it was the coronavirus pandemic or the war in Ukraine – these were moments when the European Commission shone. Of course, we can discuss details such as the PfizerGate scandal, but I believe it is objectively evident that Europe managed these crises without being deeply divided or scarred by them, despite the challenging times. Therefore, I think von der Leyen's position is relatively strong, and the majority of member states clearly support her.
