lips: Restricting Ursula von der Leyens ensures the ability of the EU

The re -election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission stands for continuity and leadership. In view of the major challenges in front of which the EU is facing, this is an important step to ensure the union's ability to act.

In her first term in office, Ursula von der Leyen Europe successfully guided through the Covid 19 pandemic. It consistently campaigned for a strong and pro-European Europe and supported Ukraine from the start. Through her decisions and its commitment, she has proven that she is the right person to guide the EU.

It is now crucial that Europe pursues a policy of determination, reason and cohesion. In an increasingly confusing world, which is characterized by a hard competition of the systems, the EU must be able to assert its position.

The CDU/CSU parliamentary group therefore expressly welcomes that Ursula von der Leyen in her speech emphasized in front of the European Parliament that prosperity, competitiveness and internal and external security will be among the central issues of their work during the coming term.

This confirmation is also a sign that the CDU/CSU parliamentary group continues to be firmly behind Ursula von der Leyen and will actively support its work at the head of the EU Commission.

The re -election of Ursula von der Leyen is an important event for the EU and the cohesion of the Member States. It gives the community stability and ensures its ability to act in a time of great challenges. Europe can continue to proceed and successfully assert itself if it has a clear and strong lead.

The CDU/CSU parliamentary group congratulates Ursula von der Leyen for re-election and wishes you all the best for the coming term.

Background: The CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag represents the Middle People's Parties and is committed to a strong, free-democratic constitutional state, the social and ecological market economy and the agreement of Europe. The re -election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission supports these goals and strengthens Germany's position within the EU.
