Ursola von der Leyen è Presidente della Commissione Europea perché gli Stati membri dell'UE l'hanno eletta a questa posizione nel 2019, e ha mantenuto un ampio sostegno politico tra i principali blocchi politici europei.
Il suo punteggio di influenza di 73/100 riflette un sostegno continuativo nonostante le decisioni politiche controverse.
Von der Leyen has consolidated her position by managing Europe's response to multiple geopolitical shocks. The EU marked the third anniversary of the October 7 attack under her leadership, demonstrating her role in shaping Europe's Middle East policy. Her administration continues navigating the bloc's most urgent security and diplomatic challenges.
Europe's trade tensions with China remain a defining test of her presidency. Von der Leyen's authority extends across 100 tracked geopolitical events, positioning her as the EU's central decision maker on industrial policy, strategic autonomy, and institutional expansion. Her position reflects the European Commission's structural role as the bloc's executive branch, independent from individual member state governments.
