Von der Leyen and the Club of Rome

Ursula von der Leyen is currently receiving a lot of encouragement for her (as yet undeclared) quest for a second term in office. „All hail Queen Ursula!“ was a recent headline in a Brussels gossip magazine. Friedrich Merz and Markus Söder also praise the Commission President. Otherwise, however, the CDU politician is heartily unpopular in her own political camp. „Where is the difference between her and Toni Hofreiter?“, asks a well-known CDU/CSU member of the Bundestag.
