EU, von der Leyen and the way out NATO upsets the balance
The guerra in Ukraine it’s been going on non-stop for now one year and there are no glimmers of pace. For this reason the role of Nato becomes increasingly crucial to face the advance of Putin and the imminent expiration of the current president’s mandate Stoltenberg runs the risk of distorting these complexities balance. Biden but he has one in mind piano which also involves the current head of the European Commission Ursula from the Leyen. In fact, she is becoming – we read in Repubblica – the real one surprise card of Washington for the succession to Jens Stoltenberg at NATO. An operation taken a few weeks ago and that could break all the schemes that the European political families were preparing in view of the elections of next year. Certainly at the current summit of the EU executive this is a perspective that not sorry. It would be a great one way out if not confirmed a Palazzo Berlaymont.
There is however one indispensable condition: complete – continues Repubblica – the five yearswhich expires in the summer of 2024. And in fact the pressing of the White House to persuade Stoltenberg to agree to a further one extension it’s quite intense. The idea is therefore to try to ratify in the NATO summit to be held in July Vilniusin Lithuania, the project of another year in office. In this way we would arrive right at the summer of 2024. When, that is, von Der Leyen will actually have terminated his mandate European. For Americans it would be there ideal solution. Why i potential candidates alternative they don’t convince until the end. In short, von der Leyen is becoming a card to play concretely. And this would upset the scenarios that countries and parties have built in recent months in view of the electoral round of next year.
