The President of the European Commission called this Wednesday for “bold decisions and political courage” to create a European Defense Union, given that over the past two years “the illusion that peace is permanent” has disappeared.
“In recent years, the illusions of many Europeans have been shattered. The illusion that the world is eternal. The illusion that Putin might be more interested in economic prosperity than in the destruction of a free, democratic Ukraine. The illusion that Europe alone is doing enough in terms of security. “, said Ursula von der Leyen at the beginning of the debate in the European Parliament in Strasbourg (France).
Speaking to MEPs, von der Leyen said the European Union (EU) was considering a “league of authoritarian states” aimed at undermining the democracies of Russia, North Korea and Iran.
