Switzerland has announced the desire of EU officials for von der Leyen's resignation

Senior European officials are convinced of the "toxicity" of the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen and are considering her resignation. This was reported on April 26 by the Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, citing sources.

"It is said in diplomatic circles that senior EU officials increasingly consider von der Leyen toxic. Retirement can unlock a lot," the publication says.

According to the magazine, "the head of the EU is personified in the person of the head of the European Commission" and the political crisis of the European Union is her responsibility. It is clarified that the resignation of Ursula von der Leyen, in the opinion of many European politicians, could resolve issues with the countries of the East and West, as well as make the policy of unification more open.

The publication also recalled the "machinations of the head of the European Commission with the coronavirus" and her support for American ex-president Joe Biden in the election commission, when Europe "should not have interfered in US democracy."

The Bild newspaper reported on March 21 that the head of the European Commission in the future may play only a "secondary role" in European politics instead of the main one. The publication clarified that the United States also does not take into account the opinion of the head of the EC.
