Who is the current European brother?
Scholz, don't be angry, judging from his influence and governing experience, it has to be French President Emmanuel Macron.
Who is the current first sister in Europe?
After Aunt Merkel retired, the most powerful woman in Europe was undoubtedly European Commission President von der Leyen.
But I just saw a very interesting piece of news, the first European brother wants to fire the first European sister.
Don't forget, von der Leyen was able to take office 5 years ago, there are two important promoters behind it, one is her old leader Merkel, and the other is Macron, in the words of foreign media, these two people joined forces, "von der Leyen unexpectedly became the president of the European Commission".
The President of the European Commission, similar to the Prime Minister of the European Union.
In power, on behalf of Europe.
Von der Leyen was indeed ambitious, saying as soon as she took office that she wanted to transform the European Commission into a "geopolitical commission", and now she is seeking re-election for another five years.
But Macron was dissatisfied and wanted to replace her.
Synthesis of reports from Western media such as Bloomberg.
1. In the past five years, von der Leyen has made a lot of anger in trade negotiations, climate change policy, and relations with the United States, and EU countries are strongly dissatisfied.
Why?
She is sometimes more American than American, and she feels less like a European and more like an American, always following the baton of the United States. Germany, France and other European countries were dumbfounded.
2. Just last month, Macron publicly criticized von der Leyen: You are too politicized.
Macron put it this way: "The responsibility of the President of the European Commission is to defend the interests of the whole, so it cannot be overly politicized. It is important to note that this is not the case at all with this outgoing Committee. ”
Von der Leyen, von der Leyen, you have disappointed me so much.
3. Macron is already taking action to communicate with European leaders such as Italian Prime Minister Meloni.
Why Meloni?
Because Macron likes Draghi, the former prime minister of Italy and the former president of the European Central Bank.
Looking at the German media reports, it is said that Draghi is now the most promising replacement. As president of the European Central Bank, he was well received in the EU for promising to save the euro at all costs.
So what is Scholz's attitude?
After all, von der Leyen is German, and in the EU, Germany's voice is crucial.
But don't worry, Scholz doesn't like von der Leyen either.
Don't forget, before the change of NATO secretary general, the United States took the initiative to hope that von der Leyen could take over. But Scholz was adamantly opposed.
Grounds for opposition?
Von der Leyen: You are too hostile to Russia, "this will cause problems in the long run."
This has also brought about a very meaningful phenomenon: The United States likes von der Leyen very much, and likes it from the bottom of its heart, but Europe does not accept this set, and is very dissatisfied and disgusted from the bottom of its heart; Germany and France, in particular, are even more disappointed and shake their heads like rattles.
Von der Leyen, von der Leyen, what are you doing?
It is also interesting that von der Leyen does not know what Macron wants.
I read the news in the Western media that von der Leyen is not sure whether Macron really wants to replace her, or pressure her to make political concessions.
Definitely, there will be a fierce bargain.
Finally, what do you think?
Let's go three points.
First, Brother Xiaoma's dissatisfaction has been endured for a long time.
Otherwise, he would not have criticized von der Leyen in public last month, and he would not have suddenly "broken the news" now and wanted to find Draghi to replace von der Leyen.
It is estimated that he will soon find Scholz, and the two will start a secret business.
As a result of the bargaining, either von der Leyen compromised and bowed her head and made major political concessions, or she hurried away, and the first sister in Europe was no longer the first sister.
Second, excessive politicization will inevitably pay a price.
Say everything politicized, do everything on the line, no one will be happy, and Europeans are no exception.
In the view of Macron and Scholz, Europe is the Europe of Europeans, but the leaders of the European Union are actually more American than the United States, and many policies follow the same trend towards the United States, which makes Europe stunned.
Is this still a qualified European leader?
Von der Leyen, von der Leyen, you have to reflect!
Thirdly, this is the internal affair of Europe, so let's watch the play.
Like the Americans or not like the Europeans, the change of the president of the European Commission is an internal affair of Europe.
It has nothing to do with us, let's just watch the play for free.
But there is a quote in Macron's recent speech, which is actually quite true. Europe must show that "it has never been a vassal of the United States, and it also knows how to talk to all the rest of the world," he said.
He also warned: "We in Europe are in danger of extinction. ”
I saw that Scholz also had a kinship, and immediately @Macron and stated: Germany and France both want Europe to be strong, for a sovereign and innovative Europe, come on!
These two brothers have had a lot of conflicts recently, but they have a strong opinion on the first sister.
