Investing.com -- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the European Union must reinvent itself to secure its position in an increasingly antagonistic global order.
"Europe must fight," von der Leyen told lawmakers during her address in Strasbourg, France, on Wednesday. "For its place in a world in which many major powers are either ambivalent or openly hostile to Europe."
The EU’s top official emphasized the urgency of the situation, adding: "Make no mistake – this is a fight for our future."
In her speech, von der Leyen identified several threats to EU sovereignty, including Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, the civilian catastrophe in Gaza, and the bloc’s current defense capabilities.
She also addressed Europe’s changing relationships with global powers, specifically mentioning "imperial ambitions" and describing "a world in which dependencies are ruthlessly weaponized."
The comments signal growing concern among EU leadership about the bloc’s position amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
