Ursula von der Leyen takes part alongside representatives from seven other parties as EU gears up for European parliament elections
The far-right Identity and Democracy’s representative, Anders Vistisen, wrote on social media ahead of the debate:
“The entire EU system has tried to prevent me and the right wing from participating in the EU top candidate debate tonight. They want to exclude right wing votes! They didn’t succeed – so tonight I will tell the truth about the EU’s disaster course directly to Ursula and the rest of the EU!”
