Greek MEP attacks von der Leyen in EU Parliament — Greek MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou delivered a blistering speech in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on September 16, 2026, directly confronting Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, whom she called the “protector of Serbian dictator Aleksandar Vučić.” She opened by calling von der Leyen “the greatest racist against Europeans.”

Latinopoulou listed a series of accusations: flooding Europe with illegal migrants who commit crimes, imposing taxes and bureaucracy, crushing farmers and fishermen, closing factories, and destroying the family. She charged the Commission with imposing “green madness,” the ‘Woke’ agenda, and the Islamization of Europe.

The MEP also referenced scandals, mentioning ‘Pfizergate’, missing text messages, and corruption allegations. She stated von der Leyen lacks direct legitimacy from European voters and relies on socialists and Manfred Weber. Her one-minute speech concluded with the words, “Madam von der Leyen, you have ruined us.” Von der Leyen listened in silence without responding.
