Assange’s father: EU falling apart under the leadership of ‘Frau genocide’ von der Leyen
The European Union is falling apart under the leadership of European Commission head Ursula Van der Leyen, commonly referred to as ‘Frau Genocide,’ John Shipton, an Australian activist and father of WikiLeaks creator Julian Assange, said in an interview.
‘The EU is falling to pieces. Everyone inside the EU is in a squabble. The head of the European Commission, Van der Leyen – we call her ‘Frau Genocide’, it’s very popular. I mean, everybody despises her. She’s an authoritarian figure. Germany’s GDP last year was 0.2 per cent. It’s not even 1 per cent, but two tenths of a per cent,’ Shipton noted.
In December 2023, Irish MEP Claire Daly called European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen ‘Frau genocide’ and said she was responsible for the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Immediately after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who took a pro-Israeli position and for some time ignored the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the deaths of civilians, was severely criticised in the media, which accused her of ‘double standards’, recalling her statements on the conflict in Ukraine, and warned against making statements on behalf of the entire EU. Later, the press service of the EC and the EU foreign policy service had to correct von der Leyen’s unilateral statements, explaining that the opinion expressed by the EC head ‘is her personal and does not reflect the position of the entire EU’.
