[48762] Storm surrounding the European Commission President's statement on the quality of life in Europe

von der Leyen's statement on Europe sparks sharp criticism

European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, sparked public interest after stating that while one can make money anywhere in the world, people choose to raise their children in Europe because of the peace, security, and opportunities it offers. The remarks were published by Hadashot 360 | All The News, which reported the quote without reservation.

On the other hand, the Telegram channel Abu Ali Express — known for its positions that sharply criticize both Western and Iranian policies — responded to von der Leyen's words with complete dismissal. According to the channel, the description of Europe as an ideal place is disconnected from the reality on the ground.

Abu Ali Express claims that the European reality is the opposite of the President's statements, pointing to three main negative trends:

• Demographic collapse: A dramatic decline in birth rates on the continent.


• Security and crime: A sharp rise in crime incidents and antisemitic events.


• Economic situation: A retreat in the economic state of major European powers.

In summary, von der Leyen's words reflect an institutional European worldview, contrasted with sharp criticism from parties analyzing the situation in Europe as one in "decline."
