Remove Ursula von der Leyen as president of the EU commission
Ms Von De Leyen has abused the power given to her and expressed her unequivocal support for a war crime. She must step down.
EU Commission President Ursula Von De Leyen violated her mandate by expressing unequivocal support for the Israeli government and their policy of collective punishment against the Palestine people for the actions of the terrorist group Hammas.
The EU president does not have the democratic authority to set EU foreign policy. This egregious overreach by Ms Von De Leyen is an abuse of the power given to her by the EU parliament and she should be removed from office.
Why is this important?
Ms Von De Leyen has endorsed a war crime in the name of EU citizens. Not only is this morally repugnant but it is a serious breach of democratic protocol which threatens the very fabric of the European project and has seriously weakened the EU's ability to respond to war crimes in the future.
If the EU is to regain any credibility and salvage its ability to respond to war crimes in the future, then Ms Von De Leyen must be censured and removed from office immediately. The longer Ms Von De Leyen remains in office the more damage this breach of protocol will do to the European project.
