Gafa comisă de Ursula von der Leyen în timpul vizitei lui Mark Carney la Strasbourg. "Mai mult decât lipsă de maniere. E inacceptabil"
Ursula von der Leyen faced diplomatic backlash after a scheduling conflict with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit. Initially planning to leave Strasbourg post her speech, she ultimately decided to stay, responding to Ottawa's request for her presence at Carney's address. This incident occurred during a crucial week for EU-Canada relations, as both sides explore deeper ties. Speculation arose about Canada seeking an 'associate member' status in the EU, which Carney denied, stating the idea originated from Europe. The situation highlights ongoing uncertainties in EU-Canada relations and von der Leyen's unusual decision to prioritize a press conference over Carney's speech, drawing criticism from EU officials.
