Demand Ursula von der Leyen’s Resignation: Restore Democracy in the EU
The Issue
To: European Council, European Parliament, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
We, EU citizens, demand the immediate resignation of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission. Democracy means leaders serve the people, yet von der Leyen ignores widespread public discontent, undermining the EU’s core values of transparency and accountability.
Her leadership fails us:
- Her lack of transparency in COVID-19 vaccine deals, exposed by a 2025 European Court ruling, caused delays and eroded trust.
- Weak climate policies fall short of EU 2030 targets, favoring corporate interests over people and planet.
- Despite thousands signing petitions against her, she was re-elected in July 2024 by a disconnected elite, deepening the EU’s democratic deficit.
We demand:
- Ursula von der Leyen’s resignation.
- EU leadership that listens to citizens.
Sign now to demand a transparent, accountable EU that reflects our collective will!
