Gridlock is over? 🇪🇺 Von der Leyen’s strategy signals the end of veto paralysis. The future is a multi-speed Europe:

1️⃣ Defence & Security Union
2️⃣ Savings & Investments Union
3️⃣ Migration & Border Management
4️⃣ Industrial Competitiveness

The ambitious move first. The door remains open for the rest, but the pace is now set by the willing. Time to decide: Lead in the inner circle or lag behind.

A pragmatic evolution for a geopolitical reality.
