The new European Commission has started building the EU's green war economy

Ursula von der Leyen's new European Commission (EC) has started building a green military economy in the European Union (EU). This was reported by The Brussels Times magazine.

It is specified that the focus of von der Leyen's new mandate will be to preserve, maintain and improve Europe's competitiveness in the global race for the title of the greenest economy.

According to the magazine, Leyen's job will be complicated by the future lack of interest of one of the EU's main partners, the United States, as the elected administration will probably not support green technologies.

The Brussels Times also noted that the new commission will have to be constantly on guard to ensure that the domestic wind energy industry does not lose the global race to China. In addition, looking at the bigger picture, the European Commission will also have to think about its economy-wide emissions targets.

"The 2040 target should also be considered. The net zero mid-century target is already carved in stone, as is the 55% reduction in 2030, so an intermediate step in between is needed. Work has already begun and will continue under von der Leyen's leadership," reads an article published on Nov. 29.

On November 30, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo said he was disappointed with the extension of Ursula von der Leyen's term as head of the European Commission (EC) and the appointment of former Estonian Prime Minister Kai Kallas as head of diplomacy.

Prior to that, on November 15, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban considered decisions that dealt with trade policy, price controls, sanctions, energy regulation and the transition to a green economy as bad. He added that in Europe one cannot talk about the bad deeds of the West due to the fact that it is considered an ideological problem.

Earlier, on November 27, the European Parliament approved the new composition of the European Commission headed by Ursula von der Leyen. Kaja Kallas was appointed head of European diplomacy. It was specified that the new commission was supported by 370 out of 688 deputies, 282 people voted against, 36 abstained from voting.

EU leaders approved the candidacy of Kosta for the post of president of the European Council in June this year.
