Von der Leyen is campaigning hard — against the wolf
From Politico:
Ever since her beloved pony Dolly was killed by wolf GW950m in Germany’s Lower Saxony in September 2022, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has focused on downgrading the protection status of the large carnivore.
But the strength of her relentless personal crusade — which has translated into political lobbying at the highest level — is raising eyebrows among EU diplomats in Brussels. They describe her focus on the Big Bad Wolf as “strange,” “bizarre,” “puzzling,” and definitely “pushy.”
