Von der Leyen's Plans for a 'Geopolitical' EU Explained

Last week, Ursula von der Leyen was re-elected as the EU Commission President for a second term, but what would another 5 years under her Presidency look like? In this video, we explain her plans for Europe and what the EU could look like in 2029.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

TLDR is a completely independent & privately owned media company that's not afraid to tackle the issues we think are most important. The channel is run by a small group of young people, with us hoping to pass on our enthusiasm for politics to other young people. We are primarily fan sourced with most of our funding coming from donations and ad revenue. No shady corporations, no one telling us what to say. We can't wait to grow further and help more people get informed. Help support us by subscribing, engaging and sharing. Thanks!

this is missing here : European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged on Thursday to create "a true European Defence Union" over the next five years

This Europe map has a very nice design. Lovely colours, shades and shapes. 6:20

Sounds like most of the eu parliament wanted to avoid the chaos of a leadership campaign

[MartijnterHaar]

As far as I understand, the European Council, the meeting of the head of states and the head of the Commission, sets the political agenda and the Commission executes that policy. So how much do the Commission's chair plans matter? If the Council wants to go to A, she can't make the EU go to B.

When will she appear in front of a Judge? She is a criminal

[tibsyy]

"Reindustrializing Europe..." Without cheap a lunatic!

[disklamer]

The captions call her Fond Lion and I am not hating that.

[RRRR-jrgp]

"We don't have enough young workers to care for retired people!! We need to raise the pension age!"
"Reduce reliance on fossil fuels??? Where would our young workers work then?"

Either we have a labor shortage or we have a labor excess.

[RogueSecret]

sucessfull? Germany went from almost beeing all green with cheap Nuclear Energy and Clean Russian Gass. (Cleaner when it comes from pipes instead of LNG) To getting expensive energy made from brown coal and LNG!

URSULA VON DER LEYEN-LET HIM FEEL, WHAT DOES DEATH, MISERY, AND PAIN MEAN.

EU Made Simple channel gave a far more precise description, for anyone curious.

3:20 I'm by far no fan of Von der Leyen, but you simply cannot expect several top-notch Fabs to be running within a few years. We are talking about the probably most advanced industry on the planet. A single Fab can easily cost beyond 10 billion Euro, the waiting list for EUV equipment is long and nearby universities may have to establish new institutes, so there's enough high-skilled staff available.

Intel and Germany are on a pretty good way for the new Fab 29 near Magdeburg (construction is expected to start later this year; €30 bn.), the same applies for ESMC in Dresden (TSMC + Bosch, Infineon and NXP; €10 bn.).

I was actually considering purchasing the magazine you presented but the prices are exceedingly high. even the digital version is 14€

[aabbccdd]

We need proper elections for EU Comission President ASAP

[RafaelW]

It's just big words again. She barely delivered on any of her 2019 goals, it's fair to expect that the next 5 years will go the same way. Maybe by 2029, people will finally wake up to reality.

The EU should tighten its grip on immigration and fortify military forces to combat the Russian aggression. Additionally, facilitating growth in cutting-edge technology is also crucial to revitalize and unshackle the stagnating economy of the EU.

Since when are S&Ds considered as centrists?

[jordonbooman]

How she not in jail for the Pfizer Covid scandal

[MrBADluck]

What abaut her criminal case involving big pharma? Why is it not in the news in eu but in british and american news media?

[jamie]

Every single one of these wrongheaded policies make me thankful we voted for Brexit
