Jörg Meuthen
Ursula von der Leyen as EU Commission
President
AfD Kompakt, July 3, 2019
[Jörg Meuthen is
a national chairman of the Alternative für Deutschland and is the leader of the AfD’s delegation
in the European Parliament. Ursula von der Leyen, a member of the CDU, has been
German Minister for Defense for the past five years. The Gorch Fock is a
sailing vessel used by the German armed forces for training.]
We would by all means tolerate a Christian Democratic
president of the Commission in so far as he is conservative, closes the
Mediterranean route and opposes the EU’s pretensions to additional
competences. That cannot be generally said of Ursula von der Leyen. The Commission
would be – figuratively speaking – as unseaworthy as the Gorch Fock. The only positive in her nomination is the failure of
the lead candidates process.
