«The West as we knew it no longer exists,» EU President Ursula von der Leyen says in this remarkable interview. «We need another, new European Union that is ready to go out into the big wide world and to play a very active role in shaping this new world order that is coming.» She lays out how Europe must respond in this new world order of geopolitical instability and crumbling alliances. First and foremost by building upon its strengths and core values. «Europe is more than a union. Europe is our home.»
