🇪🇺 Ms. von der Leyen wants to take over arms procurement in the EU: “As with vaccines.“ While war in Europe is “not inevitable,“ it is “not impossible,“ the President of the European Commission stated on Wednesday before the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. She mentioned that in the next five years, the EU should invest more in armaments and “pay particular attention to joint armament procurement.“ Currently, the Commission is developing a strategy for the defence industry, based on the experience of using taxpayers’ money to boost the production of COVID-19 vaccines. Von der Leyen’s project has faced harsh criticism from many Members of the European Parliament. #3 Our channel: Node of Time EN Источник: Node of Time EN
