Ursula von der Leyen, in her speech to the European Parliament, underlined the shift in global politics towards geostrategic competition, urging Europe to adapt while holding onto its core values. This moment is exemplified by the upcoming meeting between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, who face domestic challenges and a lack of personal rapport. The agenda includes pressing issues like handling Donald Trump's influence and addressing the ongoing war in Ukraine, all within a context of diminishing certainty for Europe's competitiveness on the global stage.
Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that European values remain steadfast, yet significant changes in approach are needed to navigate the new era of global competition.
The meeting between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron is notably overshadowed by their personal differences and struggles with domestic political crises.
