CONFIRMED: Ursula von Der Leyen’s European Commission Paid Millions to ‘Environmental Associations’ for Targeted Campaigns To Smear Political Opponents and Dissenting Voices
By now, it surprises absolutely no one to learn that the European Union Globalists and her powerful Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen are guilty of weaponizing the continent’s powers against their political enemies and the patriotic forces that oppose their suicidal policies.
After years of heavy criticism and scrutiny, the EU Commission has officially admitted a huge scandal: Brussels paid millions to environmental associations – but not only, mind you, for the nonsense ‘climate work’. What the EU was actually financing were targeted campaigns against political opponents and dissenting voices.
Austrian News Site Exxpress reported (translated from the German):
“The suspicion has been around for years, but now it is official: The EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen has supported environmental organizations with taxpayers’ money – not only for climate and environmental protection, but also for political smear campaigns. The aim of the funded NGOs was to specifically attack critics of Brussels’ climate policy.
The explosive admission: In an official statement, the Commission admits that there have been “inappropriate lobbying activities” in funded NGO programs. This apparently refers to targeted attacks on political opponents who opposed individual EU plans.”
A Commission Statement on the ‘LIFE’ Programs from April 1st contains the stunning admission: ‘The Commission notes that the work programs submitted by the NGOs […] contained specific advocacy actions and undue lobbying activities’.
Below the euphemistic and normalizing language, what it says is that von der Leyen spent millions of Euros subsidizing propaganda.
The ‘LIFE’ funding program is intended to ‘promote environmental projects and climate measures’ (a.k.a. ‘Global warming’ nonsense).
“But as it turns out, organizations that used these funds to mobilize against conservative politicians and critical voices were also paid.
Internal documents had previously spoken of ‘cooperations’ with NGOs, in which it was agreed against whom to lobby. Now Brussels admits for the first time: Yes, there were such cases – and yes, they were problematic.”
Only a third of the shady NGOs disclose where their funding comes from or what they do with the EU money.
“The Commission had already reacted for the first time in autumn 2024 – under growing pressure from the [Globalist] conservative group in the EU Parliament (EPP): an internal directive prohibited NGO projects from lobbying EU institutions with subsidies. But that was apparently only the first step. Now comes the second: Brussels announces ‘corrections’ in the LIFE program and promises more transparency. A real new beginning? The Commission wants to continue to support NGOs – but ‘not against political measures or MEPs’.”
Ursula von der Leyen ran in 2024 as the EPP’s top candidate, bearing political responsibility as Commission President.
