- In her first State of the Union speech, delivered on Wednesday (16 September), European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen positioned herself as a bulwark against the unravelling of EU values that is already underway in many of the member states. www.eudebates.tv/debates/spec... State of the Union 2020: Shaping future in COVID19 pandemic
Most of von der Leyen’s speech focused on her major battle horse so far: the economic response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has wreaked havoc on businesses across the EU this year.

But she probably kept one of her strongest messages, about ‘European values’, for the end. She approached the subject after criticising the lack of solidarity with Greece in migrant burden-sharing, acknowledging that the 2015 migration crisis “caused many deep divisions between member states - with some of those scars still healing today”.
Some member countries like Poland and Hungary still refuse outright to take migrants on their territory.
The German Commission president quoted fellow German Walter Halstein, the first president of the Commission of the European Economic Community and one of the founding fathers of the European Union.
“We must rebuild the trust amongst us and move forward together. And this trust is at the very heart of our Union and the way we do things together. It is anchored in our founding values, our democracies and in our Community of Law - as Walter Hallstein used to call it”, von der Leyen said and continued:
“This is not an abstract term. The rule of law helps protect people from the rule of the powerful. It is the guarantor of our most basic of everyday rights and freedoms. It allows us to give our opinion and be informed by a free press.”
Von der Leyen announced once again that before the end of September, the Commission will adopt the first annual rule of law report covering all member states. The tentative date is 23 September. Von der Leyen described it in the following terms:
“It is a preventive tool for early detection of challenges and for finding solutions. I want this to be a starting point for Commission, Parliament and member states to ensure there is no backsliding. The Commission attaches the highest importance to the rule of law. This is why we will ensure that money from our budget and NextGenerationEU is protected against any kind of fraud, corruption and conflict of interest. This is non-negotiable.”
Indeed, the Commission and the European Parliament are pushing for a “Rule of Law mechanism”, although, because of veto rights under EU treaties, member states concerned are ultimately likely to have the upper hand in the decision-making.
Von der Leyen, however, did not appear downbeat at such a prospect. She said:
“The last months have also reminded us how fragile it can be. We have a duty to always be vigilant to care and nurture for the rule of law. Breaches of the rule of law cannot be tolerated. I will continue to defend it and the integrity of our European institutions. Be it about the primacy of European law, the freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary or the sale of golden passports. European values are not for sale.”
In some EU countries, especially in Bulgaria, the Commission and the Parliament find an ally in the civil society, which is opposed to spending EU funds just to fill the pockets of local oligarchs and land barons. In some cases, like Hungary or the Czech Republic, the recipients are the leaders of these countries, who represent them at EU summits.
Anti-racism coordinator
Von der Leyen announced that the Commission would appoint the first-ever anti-racism coordinator “to keep this at the top of our agenda and to work directly with people, civil society and institutions”.
She made reference to anti-Semitic, anti-Roma and anti-LGBT manifestations in member states, without naming them.
“We ask where is the essence of humanity when anti-semitic carnival costumes openly parade on our streets? Where is the essence of humanity when every single day Roma people are excluded from society and others are held back simply because of the colour of their skin or their religious belief? […]I want to be crystal clear - LGBTQI-free zones are humanity free zones. And they have no place in our Union.”
A festival in the Belgian city of Aalst has raised eyebrows, while in Poland six towns declared themselves “LGBT ideology-free zones” or adopted “family rights” declarations that Brussels regards as discriminatory. Anti-Roma actions take place in Bulgaria, where VMRO, one of the junior coalition partners in the government, pursues a policy of stigmatization of this community.

The European Union 🇪🇺
Is slowly dying
Consumed by greed, hypocrisy, corruption and treachery
Like the fall of Rome , but the Roman's didn't wreck Europe , but the EU will. Scorched earth policies that they are putting in place.

@@didierlemoine6771 The word Didier in English translates to small penis !
The migrants misunderstand your speech as an invitation to come and that they are entitled to everything Europeans are entitled to and don’t get
Maybe they should have that to a degree. Like human rights and basic needs met.
America, Africa, India we’re just fine with no desire to migrate until Europe and the US started enslaving the people and stripping them of their resources. This is the consequence of world conquest and domination
Love these house of fools, just add clown music.
What is her definition of far right
anyone to the right of Lenin xD
@@johnread6730
no john you fucking child she means the extreme right
the eu is a centre to centre right organisation
Any decent god fearing human being with concerns about these crazy changes is now considered far right !! , and I'm saying this as an agnostic individual !! I didn't know Ursula Von Der leyen was this diversive and polarizing . I think us Brits probably got out at the right time. If this is the future of the EU ! .
far right now means anyone who believes in borders, private property, low taxes, and not discriminating against people based on skin (yes white people included)
The definition of far right is (Devil)
I am extreme right, do not hate and i can give better advice. Make Holland great again, time ti leave the EU!
Ah the “Extreme Right: again not the opposition.
I believe Ursula has just defined the "extreme right" as being everybody that believes in separate nations and borders.
correct as well as anyone who doesn't believe in hard green reforms which are basically communist
@@ericboxer3053 yeah, makes you wonder where the wealth is supposed to come from. More importantly, who will participate in wealth? Certainly not Joe Average
I support separated nations and borders so much!
It’s so much better than multiculturalism!!!
I guess I’m extreme-rightist and Nazi.
Jerry O Sullivan so you prefer that Europe will be full of Muslims from third world countries?
@Jerry O Sullivan Actually, it is you and the other cretins who are opposed to borders who are the minority.
She says Democracy PMSL.
Francesco de Luca herds of massive sheeple🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Next law burn all the BOOKS I dont think you should read
Divide and conquer, why must everything be Left or Right, extreme or otherwise 🤬
It doesn’t
Always labels to shut down argument
@Francesco de Luca its the same 2 EU lovers on here arguing constantly for every EU incursion into national sovereignty...oh by the way Jerry o sullivan gets 20,000 euros a year compensation from the EU, so he's hardly a neutral party
@Francesco de Luca yep like @jerryosullivan ..not only is he racist he is bought and paid for
Who voted her in????????? Glad we have left. Good luck europe.
She was voted in by Frau Merkel. That's sufficient nowadays
2,000,000 every year. 20 million every decade not into the EU but into 3 countries. When your house prices rise and wages drop jobs dry up ect you will look back at this video and wonder WTF.
@Jerry O Sullivan thankyou, take that as a complement. I'm just a realist.
Sie spricht und sagt nichts! Null Substanz.
Yes and you keep them in your Eu ..UK have had enough of you
@Diarmaid O'Riordan we have to monitor the EU's incompetence to see how many migrants are coming our way.
@Diarmaid O'Riordan OK dad.
HATE AND VIOLENCE ONLLY COMES FROM EXTREEM LEFT AND NOT FROM THE RIGHT.
Anyone who these people dont agree with are classed as far right
@Jerry O Sullivan tit
@Jerry O Sullivan you little wanker
It would seem Martin......
@Diarmaid O'Riordan in case you didn't realise it's the eu trying to destroy us , I'm not racist as most people like you perceive us to be ,different views accept it
The germans do it all the time aswell as the eu you grow up prick
As long as they don’t live next to you though love eh?
How did you find this channel weirdos,
Edit: it s eu debate not america or britain debate
Its good for a laugh, we like watching the EU fight between themselves
UK Russ fight???? Just arguing perhaps. This is what Democracy is about.
Lol they really dont get how screwed up they r do they???
Isn't this the woman that "disappeared" £1/2 billion for her mates illegally?
if the EU is so great and welcoming why are so many trying to escape in rubber boats
Cose they like englanders mini skirt
Neither is the UK, ALL OF IT! Far Right, is Central. Get a Grip!!!
VON,the leader of the corrupt 4th REICH 😡😡😡😡😡
Digital investment means a new monetary system, that tracks and controls expenditure. We have seen how it plays out in FTX in the States. Totally unreliable & only open to the few. Ursula must have done a lot of acting before becoming a Politician.
Where are these 2mil. Ppl. Coming from to Europe + migrants
Just how dare you have the courage and the cheek to talk about anything that is good while the EU follows the practices of the devil in every walk of life.
WIE IST ES MÖGLICH, DASS DIE NOCH FREI RUMLÄUFT ?
"Extreme right" The end is nigh..........
With HUGE respect Ms Ursula Von der Layen......fine words......BUT....are the poorer countries in the EU 'bloc' going to have to pay MORE taxes?........please put the 'brakes on' with the 'migration program'.....just for a period of time....get your own 'fiscal adjustments in order before allowing people to flood in........I know Ireland is going to have to raise taxes significantly with the 'tax bill' looming for high ideals.........the 'voices of the people are getting louder and louder.......
This is not the Europe we want .
the extreme right does not believe in group hate, the extreme left does. The left believes in collective, coercive conformity, the right believes in individual freedom & choice. Read Gentile & Rocco. Get your terms right
How can you give that woman a thumbs up. Its incredible. Look in her past, when she was a german minister. The only thing, what she can is spending the money of other people and scandals like the advisor affair.
Ursula lives in a purple liberal bubble...
Shame that the British will not take part the EU debate. Boris bill of Northern Ireland, where the UK future ahead, with the EU.
Don’t you mean,to the uk,2 million lol
Her vision is for Europe certainly not for the rest of the world….. she couldn’t care less. The planet must survive for her & for Europe and America.why can’t the rest of the world realize this.
Silly woman
European union with look like the middle east soon
blaming everybody with a different viewing as an extremist is von der Leien's understanding of democracy?
Turns our their values are for sale
Don’t the 2mil.ppl. Coming to Europe don’t from Country’s not member of EU don’t they have to have Visa to enter Europe if they come from outside Europe
Each individual has a solemn dignity but not apparently the right to disagree with the EU
like Merkel said every country has the right to move towards greater centralization to Brussels at slightly different paces..thats eu democracy at its finestm.oh and then accusing anyone who differs of being racist.
well luckily that tactic is now starting to fail because its been overplayed, and rhe eu will be dead by 2030
"every human being has a dignity"
Did not the previous governments in Africa or Asia of these refugees know that?
Just let them know what they have lost and are still losing and they are sure to ask all the decent people back.
Is Vonder Lyin' or just Exaggeratin'??
What Is the question and the answer and who should be angry forced contemplating certain humans ? I must register to EU vision I ought to be angry too thousands of times before, where Democracy had failed ; now need new solutions connection and concentration.
You look after one then.
This lady is dusional
They never change.She is a true German.
The eu don't preach hate, they are the HATED!!!!
❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤
But I feel I'm confronted with hate by Europe itself with great discrimination, because of the country I come from.
Hahaha don't see these visiting any refugee camps do u
This is how a hater hates.
If all of Europe should stick by the law why is incest still legal in France? Bestiality is legal in Hungary, Romania. Finland. Italy and many countries where they do not state if it is illegal.
@Jerry O Sullivan Not really. More a case of when they make a statement I just take a closer look at them. I have worked in over 20 countries and the difference between them is amazing.
@Jerry O Sullivan It was just two random subjects. Could have been eating horses or marrying age.
The crap she spouting is unbelievable I can’t watch any more
Jerry O Sullivan an unelected body that makes the rules and makes statements that the LBGTQ+ community is not welcome in the EU. Is not democracy that is a dictatorship
If the EU was really democratic every position would be elected.
@Jerry O Sullivan domisnot an mp just an advisor the house of lords have no power to make laws they discuss and advise and pi point is
@Jerry O Sullivan ifthe EU is so great then why are the generation millennium in Germany unhappy and want out of the EU why is Itally about to hold a referendum, why is Sweden considering leaving or maybe your just blind and dont want to believe and accept
You I guess agree to a United states of Europe tour welcome we are out your not getting the fish and the navy as been told from 01/01/22 to sink any EU fishing vessels illegally fishing it will be ni e to see your fishing fleets crippled like the EU did to ours
Jerry O Sullivan thinking why don’t you go the whole hog and call me and the rest of us who voted to leave racist uneducated people who did not know what they voted for. And show everyone your true colours
Jerry O Sullivan hehehe. I hope I did not offend to much. But the patter was good fun. Have a good weekend.
Der Teufel in Person! 🤮🤮🤮
Take them to your house
The one who ordered the bombing in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, etc. let him take care of the refugees. Why is it bothering others with this?

It is amusing that while Britain has left the EU, VDL and her eloquent Polish opponent in this debate both spoke in rather fluent English for most of their speeches. VDL's arrogance and smearing of her opponents illustrates how unconvincing her arguments are. While I have no time for the silly prejudice of Poland's "LGBTQ Free Zones" (which are as ludicrous as the left's Nuclear Free Zones in the UK during the Cold War), the staggering lack of empathy she displayed as a German dictating to countries that suffered under Nazi and Communist imperial enslavement is breathtaking. The gloves are off in the EU: they mean to be an empire and destroy the smaller nation states within that empire. This will become a re-creation of the Hapsburg imperial charade, led by mediocre nonentities and (via its Teutonic hegemony), in thrall to Russian energy supplies and Chinese export markets. Thus it will be a ramshackle empire, whose existence is only maintained by two other empires as a tool to be used at their whim.
Of course. Completely disregard the fact that we've spend the last 40 years creating the most prosperous, safe and free Poland in it's history.
We can't help that they have a fetish for being controlled, dominated and exterminated. Maybe they'll like us better when we cut them off, cause a femine and rule them as a dictatorship because its clearly what they want 😂😂
"Eloquent" ROTFL
@@izpodpolja Very eloquent compared to the sneering and evidence-free bigotry of the Teutonic and tectonic failure that is UVdL or the racist anglo-/slavo-/magyr-phobic ranting of Verhoftstadt.
@@Pipsispite something tells me your looking at Poland history and not Polands current position on the stage
I love how working with Russia and China is bad but following American orders doesn’t even get a mention from you 😂
Take them in to your home and to your neighborhood mrs. Oursula von del, instead of dumbing them in Greece , a country that safer financially , by the unbearable measures imposed by TROIKA
Not a peep now for afgans????
Well, at least VDL has her geography right (oops, left....er... on center!) : A rather amusing look at the current political map of Europe : it says everything you need to know .
On the left : Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden , Italy (that will swing as always) ,then a brand new centrist government in Belgium as well as the big centrist mix in Germany and then the right : Switzerland, Austria, Czech, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Finland Estonia, Lithuania, Greece, Norway, Slovenia and Croatia.
Latvia (green)
What does that SHOW you? Long Live Latvia ???? maybe......
If anyone doubted leaving EU just listen to this lady.
The need is for prudence. And EU countries should stop locking migrants out of the legal economy through its dysfunctional tax systems, in particular the damaging and inefficient EuroTax - Value Added Tax.
Ursula von der Leyen is a great woman!
2,000,000 people, 100,000 immigrants, we cannot even home our own, wankers
And how many times have Germany broke international law ,check that one my e.u supporters 😉
German Hilary Clinton, you go girl! F it all up.
She waffled on about nothing specific and she accused those who disagreed with her of being Right Wing. That's an easy label to throw around when you are unable to address the concerns of those who disagree with you and who don't want to be governed and controlled by faceless unaccountable bureaucrats.
Specifics are not the topic of the day! Educate yourself
wtf...
She mentions far right. Apart from that speaks alot but really says nothing of value.
What the hell is this woman on about she's as mad as barnier
In the current worldwide crazy "us against them" politics she is the one of which speech actually makes sense. A little bit of optimism can go a long way.
Are you insane
to be fair, I would like "Muslims" to not have to escape their own country to be safe - that would mean that they would be satisfied in their own country. And even if they are satisfied in their own country but want to go abroad an live somewhere else, this should be fine as well. The real issue is not with immigration, but the fact that the EU economy is not strong enough to support them like the EU should. I reckon that immigration is one of the factors that destroyed even the Roman empire. But what I do not like is that that you put religion into it. Why do you say "Muslim"? It's a religion like any other. As long as they respect the culture they are going to live in, for me it is ok. The point is: the EU should create more jobs, whether in tech, green tech, or whatever, allow immigrants to be part of the community if they actively want to be part of the community. and when talking about refugees: we should just accept them. The point is: nationally and internationally some might think that the EU can do something in boosting economies with trade in countries where people need to relocate, helping to end wars in countries where refugees come from and accept to its maximum capacity people that have the dream to live in Europe and to allow them to be part of the society. Remember that people are more crafty abroad, and remember that everyone pays taxes.
@@wellaciccio2362 your comment reminds of the time when I was 16 and full of idealism (you could add naivety).
I, and I would think most of the people, would agree that everyone should have the right to live wherever he pleases. He should also have the right to win the Olympic games. But is it realistic? Not for most of us.
If somebody wants to migrate to another country then he doesn't move into some empty space. There are already people with their way of life and their culture, their agreements, achievements, laws, rules etc.
And like with any other group you want to join, you need to seek permission from the existing members of the group. That's like a law of nature. Override it and you destroy the group or weaken it.
As for certain members of the Muslim community (I personally don't care what religion or beliefs people have), but for those who come to Europe from a Muslim country because it's so unbearable to live there, why on earth would they try to create the same society in their new homeland if it was so unbearable?
And who should create jobs for the immigrants? The politicians? LOL. They have never ever created a job. Entrepreneurs create jobs. People with great ideas create jobs. Politicians just make it harder for these people to create new jobs with all the red tape. Less government and less regulations would lead to more jobs. That is if we can agree that a job is something where actual production takes place. Not just a paid position in the bureaucracy, financed with stolen money.
And as for paying taxes, did you ever look up the statistics of how many of the immigrants have a job and pay taxes rather than sitting on benefits?
So yeah it would be nice if Europe would be flooded by very nice and productive and contributing people together with unicorns and rainbows. But the reality is different. And while I still welcome every human being from anywhere in the world to live with us I strongly object to the idea that it is our duty to provide them with a nice and comfortable life. If they adapt and find their way - great. If they fail or start to destroy OUR society they should find another place to live.
Simone Rainieri idiot with nice words, with all the money being poored into migration we could have build big giant cities, much better revenue models instead of the messy unethical crap happening here
Them and Us but not WE ALL
Them and us, so happy to be one of the them
EU breaks its own laws when it see fit.
Power of the state is ignored by the EU as They think they are the state.
Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. In political theory, sovereignty is a substantive term designating supreme legitimate authority over some polity. In international law, sovereignty is the exercise of power by a state.
(EU is breaking International law not the UK
Government is sovereign in international law
People are sovereign in the Uk)
Westphalian sovereignty, or state sovereignty, is a principle in international law that each state has exclusive sovereignty over its territory. The principle underlies the modern international system of sovereign states and is enshrined in the United Nations Charter, which states that "nothing should authorise intervention in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state."[1] According to the idea, every state, no matter how large or small, has an equal right to sovereignty.[2] Political scientists have traced the concept to the Peace of Westphalia (1648), which ended the Thirty Years' War. The principle of non-interference was further developed in the 18th century. The Westphalian system reached its peak in the 19th and 20th centuries, but it has faced recent challenges from advocates of humanitarian intervention
(People voted leave.
The EU and UK government are breaking the law.
3 Parliament elections and 1 referendum and 4 Prime Ministers and 4 years after the vote and the UK are still trapped in while they try to override the UK vote with a fake deal).
@Diarmaid O'Riordan because the bbc and sky new only show one side of the argument (the EU side).
Being told the UK is breaking International law.
When in fact its the EU breaking International law and EU law and its the UK breaking UK law and EU law.
The fake news is stupid and intill the EU and UK deal are finished then my Leave vote has not been carried out.
I have no problems with any one in the EU.
But i see it has
the EU needs to become 1 Nation or desolve.
The UK was a square peg trying to fit in a round hole never really wanting to be fully in the EU.
Russia and China can make quick decisions.
The EU takes ages because of too many countries need to agree.
Thats why Russia and China are successful and always gets the upper hand over the EU.
So the EU has to become more centralised or fade away.
The UK has aways hindered that process.
The UK will be stronger leaving the EU but after so many decades of decline and miss management it will be a hard struggle back up.
But its better to be independently stronger then being weaker and dependent on others.
The EU is a good Trading idea but a dangerous political idea as my other post talked about 1 mans dream.
She should resign.
Traitor!
Who is that witch
