About our Ursula von der Leyen news

Latest news on Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, covering EU policy, international relations, Green Deal, and key decisions shaping Europe's future.

Ursula von der Leyen, the first woman to serve as President of the European Commission, has been a central figure in European politics since taking office in December 2019. As head of the EU's executive branch, she oversees the development and implementation of policies affecting over 447 million EU citizens across 27 member states.

Recent developments under von der Leyen's leadership include the ongoing implementation of the European Green Deal, aimed at making the EU climate-neutral by 2050. She has also been at the forefront of EU responses to global challenges, including coordinating vaccine procurement and distribution strategies, and shaping the bloc's stance on international conflicts. Her Commission has faced scrutiny over issues such as the rule of law in member states and migration policies.

Beyond policy, von der Leyen's tenure has been marked by efforts to increase the EU's global influence. She has emphasized the importance of "strategic autonomy" for Europe, advocating for stronger defence cooperation and technological independence. Her Commission has also prioritised digital transformation, with initiatives aimed at regulating big tech companies and promoting European digital innovation.

Prior to her role in Brussels, von der Leyen served in various ministerial positions in Germany, including as Minister of Defence from 2013 to 2019. Her political career spans over two decades, during which she has been a key ally of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This background in national politics has informed her approach to EU leadership, balancing member state interests with broader European goals.

As Ursula von der Leyen continues to shape EU policy and navigate complex global challenges, staying informed about her decisions and initiatives is crucial for understanding the future direction of the European Union. Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of von der Leyen's presidency, drawing from a wide range of reliable sources to keep you informed about one of Europe's most influential leaders.
