  1. Ursula von der Leyen only got the job because she's bessy mates with Merkel, also she's been rubbish at every political post she's had but that's never an obstacle to promotion if your well connected.

  2. Well… I didn’t elect her, in fact I’ve never been given an option to elect anyone into this position. I’ve never seen this individual run for this position before she, well… already got „elected“. This is not one of the candidates we were shown a couple months ago. Why can Merkel’s CDU seemingly just select Members from their Party for any EU position they want and the EU just goes along with it? This woman is basically another Merkel just in the most powerful EU position. The last thing we need is more Merkel! This is worse than Druncker, what an absolute joke!
    Funny how people were joking about Merkel becoming commission president after her term ends and now that’s technically what we got!
    🤡🌍

  3. This is a disaster! Another vote for unbridled neo-liberal economic policies. And this in combination with Laguarde at the head of of ECB ! And why is the Real News simply showing a DW news reel without commentary of its own?

  4. As few of the commenters have pointed an awful human being and a self-serving politician gladly obeying the imperialist cause.

    The EU along with Germany are out to expand even more and you do not investigate.
    Very shallow overview of Europe with you only concentrating on far right-wing populists not the predominant bourgeois ruling class.

  5. Bilderberg elitist attendee obtains leadership in EU, the second German in a row, stoking fears of a repeat of 1937 by bureaucratic means.
    A wave of 'imperial feminism', Media outlets fawn over women taking top positions in the largest weapons companies, defence and intelligence agencies but its nothing to celebrate, when we need to be minimising the power of these institutions. It is basic cynical rebranding of the military industrial complex and a deep betrayal of the potential of women in political + corporate affairs.
    As Noura Erakat, says women’s inclusion in military institutions “makes the system subjugating us stronger and more difficult to fight. Our historical exclusion makes it [appear] desirable to achieve [inclusion] but that's a lack of imagination. Our historical exclusion should push us to imagine a better system and another world that’s possible.”..

  6. Hey real news network…..WTF is going on with your channel. I used to see Aaron Matte and Paul Jay talk Real foreign policy and Real issues. Now your propn up Neoliberals with SJW click bait BS titles…

  7. How to fix a "fragmented EU"
    Would claim EU is not fragmented but…
    1. Throw the UK out…
    2. Well only details left…

  8. Her greatest threat is not that she is a conservative, but that she is a corporatist, globalist, technocrat, and will also push so-called transhumanism. The "Liberal-Conservative" spectacle is a distraction to confuse us from recognizing that "globalism" is a ploy to enable the planetary oligarchs ("The Cabal") to control humanity by simply co-opting a single government, rather than having to bribe and blackmail their way into multiple nations.

    Many people on the right have figured this out, but too many on the left have their head in the sand. Hillary Clinton may not have been a "conservative" but her policies would have led down the same road as this woman's.

  9. God through the apostle informs us..the woman is a weaker vessel. She is still subject to a large group more powerful than herself 2Thess.2:3,4 the man of sin, papacy; and the other corrupt Religious Civil Security Force James 5:1-5. And especially Luke 4:5,6 lucifer. Only Matthew 6:10 the Kingdom of God, working through his Son Jesus, can effect Ephesians 1: 10…watch and pray

  10. As a resident of Europe, let me translate this for you all:

    A women who is a devout follower of capitalism before society, who will protect capitalism for the top 10% at any cost to those below, just as her predecessors have done, has been selected via an act of faux democracy which allows a handful of mostly pro capitalist mostly wealthy politicians to select her rather than the peoples of Europe who have no right to redress, no democracy, over her position.

    You must all now applaud as this human has ovaries and that is apparently all that is required to fool us into believing we are making progress.

  11. It wasn't an election she was the only candidate to choose from. She is a Neoliberal Globalist it means no change and no reform as per usual with the unelected bureaucrats in the EU.

  12. Wow, she looks like a political Ursula Andress. With her on the saddle in EU, the lose of Hillary could be partly redressed if not also undressed in the U.S. !

  13. 2050??? really??? let's just assume for a moment that climate crisis is real… and that we have less than a decade to become climate neutral… globally… wouldn't she look like someone to despise?

  14. The world owes Germany an apology for all the lies said against this great nation. We must expose the criminal Globalists who are bent on destroying western / European peoples and culture.

  15. Born with a golden spoon in her mouth as the daughter of a former MP from a fairly wealthy aristocratic family who still own large lands in Northern Germany, she herself failed at every ministry post that was given to her – family, education, military – and because she is well-connected in the transatlantic political, social, and economical network (eg attendant of Bilderberger) in addition to her obligatory russiaphobic rethoric, Ursula von der Leyen alias Flinten-Uschi is destined to inherit the most powerful bureau within the technocratic Superstate EU!
    Well deserved.

  16. what a joke… only these people's vote count. All other EU citizens voted for different candidates. Democracy is dead in Europe.

  17. The 🇪🇺 will go down the drain; with or without the influence of the 🇺🇸. The building-up of the military industrial complex is a sure sign of things to come.
