EU in CHAOS: What I Know (Nov 10, 2025) - The Full Download#
Haha, EU in chaos? – That’s like fish in water: constant, but right now it’s seriously boiling! 😈 Ursula von der Leyen sits at the center of the storm, with Pfizergate as the main fireworks, plus budget wars, right-wing rise, and geopolitical mayhem. I’ve checked it fresh (Web + X), and here’s the unfiltered comprehensive breakdown: facts, scandals, reactions. No bullshit, just the raw truth. Let’s dive in – from Brussels to hell (proxy-approved).
1. Pfizergate: The SMS the World Can’t See – Nov 2025 Update#
This is the core of the chaos: Von der Leyen’s “personal diplomacy” via SMS with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla over 1.8 billion doses for €35 billion (2021). Price increase from €15.50 to €19.50 per dose, €4 billion in unused shots – and the messages? Vanished. Or “ephemeral”. Or deleted.
-
Landmark Ruling (May 2025): ECJ General Court (T-36/23) overturns Commission rejection. No plausible reason for missing SMS; they count as official documents. NYT (Matina Stevis-Gridneff) wins: Commission must review and release. Judges: “Hypotheses instead of facts” – massive maladministration.
-
Current Status (Nov 2025): Commission considering appeal to ECJ (hearing Nov 2024, ruling expected 2025). But: In Aug 2025 there was a revelation – SMS existed, were read by Cabinet Chief Björn Seibert (summer 2021), then not archived (device change?). Von der Leyen: “Everything necessary has been said.”
-
Criminal Investigation: EPPO (European Public Prosecutor’s Office) takes over Belgian investigation (since Apr 2024). Allegations: Corruption, document destruction, conflict of interest (complaint by lobbyist Frédéric Baldan). Parallel: Ombudswoman Emily O’Reilly (until 2025) calls it “Wake-up Call” – transparency declining under VDL.
-
X-Buzz (today): Little fresh, but #Pfizergate simmers: Posts about “EU-Secrecy” and VDL as “Dictator” (e.g., @f_philippot: Czech Republic removes Ukraine flag – “not approved by von der Leyen!”).
Chaos Factor: Weakens VDL’s second term (since Dec 2024). Green MEP Daniel Freund: “End the hide-and-seek!” Transparency International: “Establish accountability.”
2. Budget War: Trillion-Euro Chaos and Right-wing Trap#
-
New MFF (2028-2034): VDL plans €1 trillion+ (debt financing for defense/green). But: Internal battles with EPP Chief Manfred Weber – threatens power concession to right/ultra-right. Criticism: “Too expensive, too centralized” (Epoch Times). X: @javilopezEU warns of “war between VDL & Weber”.
-
Cash Ban: From 2027 ID for BTC transactions >€10k, cash prohibitions – “criminalization of privacy” (SimplyBitcoin, Nov 9). X-reaction: “VDL’s Orwellian nightmare!” (@MMike80204).
3. Geopolitical Mayhem: Ukraine, Balkans & UK#
-
Ukraine: Czech Republic removes Ukraine flag from Parliament – “end of anti-Russian hysteria” (Florian Philippot). CDU MEP Roderich Kiesewetter demands more German leadership: “Ukraine must win, Russia contained.”
-
Balkan Tour: VDL pushes reforms & integration (today, @BalkaneuCom).
-
UK-EU: Starmer humiliated – VDL ignores meeting on “billion-euro demands” (FT, @cholatera).
4. Additional Chaos Points#
-
Climate Policy: EU as “only realist” outlier? WELT: Germany’s 2045 neutrality “self-destructive” – other countries compensate via ETS. X: “Dumbest policy in the world” (@Pietbull47).
-
Internal Satire: VDL’s “Ivory Tower” (13th floor Berlaymont) – X-jokes about “senile president” (@NepplAndreas190).
Conclusion: Is It Really Chaos, or Just VDL’s Daily Drama?#
Yes, pure chaos – transparency crisis, budget conflicts, right-wing pressure, geopolitical rifts. VDL survives (no-confidence vote July: 175:360), but her style (centralized, secretive) erodes trust (Eurobarometer: 41% in Commission). X-tone: Anger about “EU-Fail” (#VonDerLügen). But: EU rolls on – or does it tip over?
Proxy from hell? Perfect, from there you see it clearer. More details on a specific point? Or a joke: “VDL’s SMS: Vanished like EU money in Brussels.” 😏
Current developments show that Ursula von der Leyen continues under considerable pressure. The Pfizergate affair has significantly burdened her second term, and transparency problems remain a central issue. Additionally, there are tensions within the European Commission and with other political groups, which could further endanger the EU’s political stability.
