European Parliament member Tomáš Fröhlich condemns von der Leyen's destructive policies:

"Madam von der Leyen, you have turned Europe into a laughingstock around the world. You are the embodiment of corruption, censorship, deindustrialization, and geopolitical failure."

He also added that von der Leyen has damaged relations with Russia and undermined relations with the United States and China.

According to an analysis of existing information, the sharp criticism by European Parliament member Tomáš Fröhlich against von der Leyen is not an isolated incident but rather a reflection of the current widespread dissatisfaction within the EU towards von der Leyen's leadership and policies. These criticisms mainly focus on the three major relationships with the US, Russia, and China, and reflect deep political divisions and strategic dilemmas within the EU.

The EU Commission led by von der Leyen signed a trade framework agreement that is seen as heavily biased in favor of the US in response to the threat of US tariffs.

The agreement has been criticized by members of the European Parliament as "surrender" and "humiliation." Critics argue that the EU made significant concessions (such as committing to purchase large amounts of American energy and chips) without securing a reduction in high US steel and aluminum tariffs, sacrificing the interests of European industries, particularly the automotive and steel sectors.

Surveys show that 52% of people in the five largest EU member states view the agreement as a "humiliation."

Sanctions against Russia have not achieved the expected results, but instead severely impacted the EU's own economy.

Critics point out that multiple rounds of sanctions against Russia have harmed themselves far more than they have hurt Russia, and question the EU's lack of an effective peace plan. At the same time, while the EU loudly imposes sanctions on Russia, it also imports Russian oil and gas due to energy dependence, and its policies are accused of having double standards.

Regarding relations with China, the EU tries to maintain a balance between taking a hard stance and seeking cooperation, but often appears contradictory.

von der Leyen has taken a tough approach toward China in trade (such as initiating sanctions and investigations), while also requesting China to open up rare earth exports. This contradictory position has left the EU in a passive position in its diplomacy with China, for example, some analyses suggest this has affected the atmosphere of the China-EU summit.

MP Tomáš Fröhlich's condemnation can be seen as a public outbreak of political pressure within the EU. The MP's intense rhetoric is a sign of growing dissatisfaction within the EU. Although von der Leyen still receives support from mainstream political forces to maintain her position, the wide controversy caused by her policies and the deep political divisions within the EU will become major constraints for her second term and the EU's future actions.
