EU summit: Leyen strengthens her power in the Union

In the run-up to the highly expected EU summit, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, convened a secret meeting with selected heads of state. The "ad hoc coalition of the willing" is supposed to re-sort the balance of power within the EU-and that causes excitement!

The unconventional meeting takes place in Berlin and brings some of the most important decision -makers in the EU, while other Member States are left out. Critics fear that the Leyen drives her agenda and ignores the opinions and needs of other countries. "Our Union draws its strength from its federal structure and all its Member States," warns a spokesman for the free voters. He raises the alarm: it is time to set clear signs against VDL's power games!

a picture says more than a thousand words

An insightful picture from this meeting shows the atmosphere of confidentiality and power policy that lies in the air. "As this picture shows, VDL uses its position at the top of the Commission during this Euco to consolidate its power," says a statement. But the messages behind the scenes are clear: led by von der Leyen, a new strategic direction is to be established that could marginalize other Member States.

The EU faces huge challenges, not least in the refugee question. Despite all efforts to cooperate, a group of countries feels over - a risk that could endanger the stability of the Union. The darkness of the back room is strong and the question remains: who will ultimately be in charge?

The political game is in full swing, and today's EU summit promises to keep the waves beat. Will the worries of the Member States be heard, or will the vision of a only negotiating commission triumph over the EU? Time will show it!
