      The short answer is that there is no "Commission's chair plans". Instead, the heads of the EU nations together decide on objective with the other bodies of the EU being the ones that make it happen. Except that the EU parliament and its president basically act as an additional country and their opinion must be taken into account together with the actual 27 countries. So in the end, these plans are a joint statement by all parties involved and not the personal directive of the EU president. All this is way too complicated but it is what it is.

    3:20 I'm by far no fan of Von der Leyen, but you simply cannot expect several top-notch Fabs to be running within a few years. We are talking about the probably most advanced industry on the planet. A single Fab can easily cost beyond 10 billion Euro, the waiting list for EUV equipment is long and nearby universities may have to establish new institutes, so there's enough high-skilled staff available.
    Intel and Germany are on a pretty good way for the new Fab 29 near Magdeburg (construction is expected to start later this year; €30 bn.), the same applies for ESMC in Dresden (TSMC + Bosch, Infineon and NXP; €10 bn.).

Just take a look at the meeting on the day she was elected. There were a lot of European politicians who suggested that she should resign and be arrested and charged.
    I allowed myself to comment before finishing the video, hence why I'm editing my answer.
    I'm not even going to comment on the Green deal and how it's making the average EU population worse than it is economically. Pushing an idea like that for advanced economies and countries in Western Europe is one thing, while the picture is completely different in Eastern Europe, for instance.
    Digitizing the European union and separate national institutions would never work in Southern Europe / Eastern Europe or at least not in the time frame that they have predicted. Put simply, the aging population and old people in general are more, or in some places as many, as those in "working age" (people under 40 - 50 y). If you've been in any of the countries in Southern or Eastern Europe, there is no way you haven't noticed that the pensioners and older folk do not even have smartphones (let alone computers and internet at their homes). Trying to explain a digitized government and making it work to them would be more than just a difficult task. Allocating such massive amounts of money for something that will not work for half the Union is a bad idea and don't get me started with corrupt governments that will make the euro funds magically disappear (as many of us European have already seen in the past decade). In this case there are much more pressing issues that need to be addressed. I'm not saying that this is not needed. It just needs to be done slowly and with less funds allocated for that.
    The 50 billion euros for Ukraine (on top of what has already been provided, both monetary and militarily) are a never ending black hole of funds that the Union is never going to see. Again, circling back to how such amounts can be distributed in ways that would actually benefit the Union and it's people. And if someone thinks that Ukraine will join the EU in the near future, is extremely delusional, as there will always be at least one country that would be against and will block them joining.

      Also, after she decided to work with the Greens instead of ECR (which is closer in ideology with the EPP, but less pro-EU) and kept the cordon sanitaire against the far-right, for both P4E and the ESN) made me trust her a bit more.

      I am not the biggest UVL fan either, but continuing with the current policy is partially needed.
      The Green deal needs reforms, but we need it to account for the rapidly changing climate.
      Digitising the EU is needed, even if we have an aging population, because that is the only way the different countries can remain competitive. A lot of countries in the EU are behind on that, and slowing down because of old people is not reason enough. Saying that, it depends what digitisation means, if it is just government services, while good, it is not enough.
      I agree we need better ways of managing the funds the EU gives out, but not giving them out, is not a solution, it is essentially crippling the union.
      I wish that there was more plans to directly tackle inequality, but unfortunately our political systems are still beholden to the very rich. The only hope that I have is that she seemed to be more keen to empower the European Parliament to make laws and other initiatives, but we'll have to wait and see.

      The citizens voted for their representation. Its those representatives role to choose the commission leader. So your claim about the majority not wanting her is just being a poor looser. The representatives of the majority of people choose her. Otherwise those people should have voted differently. Naturally there where a few that said she should resign, but not a lot as you suggest. If it was a lot, she would not have been elected which requires a majority.
      There is overwhelming support for helping Ukraine. Anything else would be a poor choice. Even if we only do it because we need to bleed putin before he attacks us. that 50 billion is mostly invested in EU weapons manufacture, so not Ukraine directly. And we need to be able to create massive amounts of weapons and munitions to stop putin. We either stop him in ukrain or on our own soil. Either way its going to cost a lot of money. You either support that or are already learning russian.

    As always, we must continue to work togheter now even more than yesterday. Since Germany is in crisis and needs help, France is experiencing some problems too, and the whole Union is under threat of an aggressive Russia that still doesn't want to agree with our terms of peace.
    And let me be clear: there will be no other terms of peace except those of the European Union.
    After we was dragged into this war, we MUST show to the world that our Union is not a joke and we are not a force that can be underestimated and ignored.
    I know that many countries in the Union had friendly relationships with Russia, but right now it is OUR common public imagine and authority under the lights of judgment. So we can not accept anything less that a peace on our terms.

      We need more legal routes open, rather than less, in my view. Indeed, I remember when José María Aznar, the very right wing PP Spanish PM in the late 90s and early 2000s actually granted a mass amnesty to illegal migrants, because 1) He wasn´t willing to raise the taxes necessary to employ more border staff 2) they were doing jobs Spanish people by then didn´t actually want to do.

      It's ironic, because over the last 100 years under capitalism, we've been slashing jobs in massive numbers in almost all sectors of work as tech advancement goes on and it's what is allowing us to do so much today than we could 100 years ago.
      Now thought, there are some that are fearful of too many jobs being taken away, especially with the rise of A.I. and robotics, the simple truth is, progress and slashing jobs go hand in hand, if advancement allows us to do more with less, it will be done, regardless of resistance to it because we are living in a competitive world that if we don't progress, we get left behind by the ones that do, which forces us all to get with the program.
      A.I. and robotics is going to have a massive impact on the job market that we've never seen in history, and unlike automation an 100 years ago that took over a lot of jobs, it was slow to bring in, expensive to do and not very flexible in manufacturing, at least not as low cost, A.I. and robotics is a different ball game as eventually, that will be able to do pretty much any job we can do, any future jobs we try to create, there's no reason why A.I. and robotics won't be able to do them as well, that could be a major problem under the capitalist system we live under, because it would put far more wealth in fewer hands and push the rest of us under a bus, this is especially the case under countries like the US that have little protection for it's people or some developing countries like China, the EU countries on the other hand could get around this with a human basic income, much of the system is already in place to allow that with the social aspect and social programs, it could just be a matter of expanding on what's already there, but trying to sell that idea in the US or China, well they'll need a miracle and would rather throw the people under a bus then help them.
