At the same time, he referred to how the European Council works, explaining that “it is not just a member state that says “I want, I want, I want”.

“Any democratic government that is willing to work with us, we will work with,” Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said when asked about Italy’s upcoming elections after speaking at Princeton University.

In particular, he noted that “democracy is a continuous process in progress. It’s never over, it’s never safe, it’s never like putting her in a box and keeping her there. The issue is how citizens defend democracy. We will see the result of the elections, we also had elections in Sweden. My approach is that any democratic government that is willing to work with us, we will work with.”

At the same time, he referred to how the European Council works, explaining that “it is not just a member state that says “I want, I want, I want”. You are in the European Council and you realize that my future depends on the other 26. This is also the beauty of democracy. I know that sometimes we are slow and I know that we talk a lot, but this is also a democracy.”
