I'm not a European (I'm American) but I honestly thought von der Leyen was a pinnacle of competence compared to our leaders when she was in office.

She's been famously incompetent and corrupt. You should change your news sources.

Rather an interesting find, that american sources portrayed her as pinnacle of competence.

She was always America's favoured candidate. A far right white supremacist extremist that can endorse genocide as easily as breathing.
