There has to be some serious Pepto Bismol chugging going on in the hallowed halls of Brussels as European Union elites face arguably the most severe challenges to their uninterrupted rule yet. From Geert Wilders’ improbable recent triumph on their own front doorstep to the unremitting rise of the populist AfD party no matter what Whack-A-Mole tactics a panicked German Green coalition employs to stomp it out, an icy wind of severe citizen displeasure is frosting the tapestries in their once cozy confines.
Chief among the targets of ire, both MEPs (Member of the European Parliament) and leaders of EU countries, is Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.
Or, as she’s mockingly referred to in certain quarters, the self-styled “Queen of Europe.”
As she’s beginning to run out of sympathetic friends, her reign may be coming to a close.
What a pity.
