The EU is getting worse
Recently, there has been growing criticism of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Not only did former European Council President Charles Michel claim that she was exercising her mandate in an “authoritarian” manner, but Suzanne Lynch, the EU correspondent for leading news agency Bloomberg, also accuses her of a “power grab” and “micromanagement”. Von der Leyen has long been a target of the growing right-wing conservative faction in the European Parliament.
