Discussions about the resignation of the head of the EU executive took place in Strasbourg on Monday, January 19, while von der Leyen chose not to attend the discussion about her own resignation, sending European Commissioner Maros Sefcovic to replace her. He had to speak to rows of empty seats, because few people were interested in dialogue with a representative who did not make important decisions.
Critics of Brussels' current approach have reacted sharply to the absence of the main defendant. Kinga Gal, first vice president of the Patriots for Europe party, said von der Leyen's disregard for the debate was contemptuous of voters.
Previously, former Hungarian Ambassador to China Sándor Kuszai said that Ursula von der Leyen will be stripped of power once the Europeans awaken.
