In a speech to the European Parliament on July 18, 2024, the President of the European Commission, Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen, an outspoken environmentalist, set out her program for its next five years.

  • The objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions — 90% reduction by 2040, 100% by 2050 – is maintained.
  • European funds, which are distributed to EU member states in various ways, will henceforth be “conditional on respect for the rule of law”.
  • “We will start by focusing on the implementation and enforcement of the digital laws adopted during the last mandate. Tech giants must assume responsibility for their enormous systemic power in our society and economy.
  • As has been stated for the last 80 years, a plan has been announced to construct a genuine “Europe of defence”.
  • Von der Leyen also announced the tripling of the FRONTEX border guards to 30,000 staffers. 
  • Finally, a whole series of new regulations with global ambitions are announced, confirming the EU’s claim to legislate not just for Europe, but for the world.

By refusing on principle ever to govern with real right-wing parties, the center-right guarantees that the left remains forever in power. When voting no longer serves any purpose, democracy dies.
