Ok, in the light of mr. Chirac’s passing away, is there a learning we can take from his tenure?
He was a man of the middle. Politics is about finding the middle, and work from there. Why? Because, from there you can work with both sides.
Looking at ms. von der Leyen and her politics, you can see the footprints there. She works with the right wing in an anti migration stance, and at the same time with the left wing in a Green Change direction.
This may have been inspired by the massive success by the former government of the Socialdemocrats here in Denmark, who did exactly that.
We have changed constellation in Denmark, and that has been less than successful.
The point is, ms. von der Leyen found the middle between the demands of the right, and the demands of the left.
To have success you have to be able to find the middle and work with both parts of the cabinet.
The same was the case with Barack Obama, who did a lot of amazing work in the line of Martin Luther King and Change and at the same time fought Isis.
In other words, it is a matter of balance.
Now, this success is good, and as they say; if it work don’t fix it.
So, it is not a criticism to ms. von der Leyen, it is to understcore the reason for the success.
G-d bless the will to find success for the European Union.
