Resignation of Von der Leyen after disastrous deal with Trump

Why is this important?

A Call for Accountability: Von der Leyen Must Resign

This agreement marks a troubling alignment of the European Union with the geopolitical agenda of Donald Trump, a figure widely recognised for undermining multilateralism, weakening NATO cohesion, and championing isolationist, transactional politics.

President Ursula von der Leyen’s unilateral decision to engage in this deal represents a strategic surrender to U.S. interests, compromising Europe’s independence, unity, and long-term security. It threatens to reduce the European Union from a sovereign global actor to a subordinate partner, undermining decades of hard-won progress in building an autonomous and balanced international presence.

Her continued leadership is no longer tenable. It has become a liability to the credibility, stability, and global standing of the European Union. We cannot entrust the future of our Union to someone who chooses submission over sovereignty.

At a time when Europe needs clear, courageous, and independent leadership, Ursula von der Leyen has shown she is fundamentally unfit for the role.

What We Demand

1. The immediate resignation of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission.
2. A transparent and independent investigation into the contents and consequences of the deal made with Donald Trump.
3. A renewed commitment to democratic governance, institutional checks and balances, and a truly European foreign policy grounded in multilateral cooperation.

We believe Europe deserves better: leadership that defends our values, protects our independence, and serves the collective interests of its people—not leadership that bargains them away behind closed doors.
