? Reindustrialization, Green Deal, life chances - why Ursula von der Leyen is needed for a second term in office

?? Ursula von der Leyen is nominated as the top candidate of her German European party. This is good and important news for Europe.

???? Ursula von der Leyen, who came into office to resolve a tricky personnel situation at Europe's top level, has found the role of her life as President of the European Commission .

7?? reasons why she should definitely keep going:

#1 Stability in times of multiple crises

Never has there been more unrest in Europe since the WWII. Pandemic, Ukraine invasion, Hamas terrorist attack: As the head of the EU Commission, the President showed courage, political skill and tact. Europe now urgently needs stability in political leadership in order to deal with these crises thoughtfully and rationally.

#2 Political courage and instinct

She was the first in Kiev after Putin's invasion. She was the first in Jerusalem after the Hamas attack. No other political leader from Europe was so courageous, so quick and so clear in implementing his own tact. She compensated for the lack of initiatives from the EU member states and the complete loss of the Franco-German axis with decisive leadership.

#3 Green Deal masterpiece

Humanity has finally realized that #climatechange must be actively combated, and the COP28 UAE in Dubai clearly demonstrated this. Europe has taken the lead with the Green Deal, guided by net zero #decarbonization by 2050, as the first continent ever, a bold and necessary step!

#4 European industrial policy

A European industrial policy didn't exist before and it was invented by Ursula von der Leyen. With the Net Zero Industry Act, the EU defines its strategic goals within the framework of a climate policy while maintaining the industrial structure. It is a courageous departure from a previously blind export strategy that is no longer working. With a strategic focus on climate technologies, the de-industrialization of Europe can be stopped.

#5 Create financial flexibility

With the “Next Generation EU” reconstruction program, she created the opportunity to finally position Europe in the global financial structure in such a way that it can keep up with the USA and China. The size of the capital markets there is increasingly destroying the industrial substance of the EU. The additional introduction of European green bonds is the only way to keep up with these economic and investment locations.

#6 Political compass is right

Europe has also experienced internal crises, the abolition of the rule of law in Hungary, the political situation in Poland and the rise to power of post-fascists in Italy. After the looming #Brexit, Europe was able to hold together despite all the prophecies of doom because the political compass at the top was right.

#7 Life chances as a leitmotiv

If there is a leitmotiv that could describe Ursula von der Leyen's term in office, it would be the preservation of life chances. These are threatened by the loss of jobs but also by the loss of livelihoods due to climate change and other influences. War and expulsion from one's own homeland destroy life chances. Restoring life chances must also remain the task of the future term of office!
