EU’s von der Leyen delivers veiled warning to Italy’s right wing

  1. I see she’s threatening to do what was done to Austria in 1999. EU is the true pinnacle of democracy, sanctioning a country because it elected the “wrong” leaders.

  2. von der Leyen playing 3D chess.
    After the results come in she may be able to tell Giorgia Meloni that her comments helped put Fratelli d’Italia over the top.

  3. Gotta love when a country elects a leader absolutely democratic there is concern just because it isn’t on the same spectrum as them

  4. She laughs at Putin and yet does exactly the same – dictatorship, threats, attack at country’s sovereignty and democracy. This is more and more similar to soviet union than anything else. No wonder Brits gtfo from EU, they had enough of BS like this.

    Italians – don’t get fooled by this woman and resist! Don’t let her rule over you and you choose your own leaders as YOU see fit, not how she sees fit.

  5. EU so fucking weak they have to ask nicely, lmao they can’t even get Hungary in line. How the fuck are they gonna do anything to the 3rd largest economy in Europe?

    Fucking clown show.

  6. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has warned Italy of consequences should it veer away from democratic principles. Everyone here – Urgh such a dictator. Never change Reddit.

  7. If fanatical nationalists are encouraged by politicians in one country, they shouldn’t be surprised when that has the effect of strengthening the positions of similarly minded people in other countries.

  8. I don’t know what is going through VDL’s head to think this statement and the timing of it is a good idea?

    If the EU is going to be a success, the quality of people in charge really has to go up drastically.

  9. Lol, whenever I read comments in this subreddit I am pretty much convinced that the EU is a failed experiment on a social level. The hate amongst the countries is real. So much so that I get the impression it would be the best to disband the EU because everyone would better off on their own. And to be honest with all that hate I sometimes feel like, yeah, f.. off. Lets end this misery.

  10. Can’t really take von der Leyen seriously about criticizing other governments for being “right winged”, when she herself signed a deal for energy with actual fascists.
