State of the Union (debate)
Madam President, Profit slump at Mercedes and Porsche; Volkswagen is cutting 35,000 jobs; thyssenkrupp is discontinuing its steel production. Six years ago, Mrs. von der Leyen, here at this point you Green Deal proclaimed: Europe should become climate neutral, combustion engines should be banned, and today you have confirmed this once again. We can already see the result: German industry is no longer competitive; A quarter of a million jobs have been lost. For your second term of office, you have set yourself a great goal again: Victory over Russia. Your commission has already transferred 169 billion euros to Kyiv, to a thoroughly corrupt system. In Germany, the cash registers are empty; Shopping in the supermarket becomes unaffordable; More and more families cannot afford their own homes. Retirees need to collect bottles. But you, Mrs von der Leyen, want 2,000 billion euros for your next budget. EUR 500 billion of debt should be added as an emergency reserve for future crises – and yes, these crises will certainly come, because your Commission will only create the crises it claims to solve. Donald Trump has faked how to deal with megalomaniac world leaders like Ursula von der Leyen: He put them outside the door, and we should do the same.
