Njemačka demokršćanka Ursula von der Leyen, koju je Europsko vijeće u utorak predložilo za funkciju predsjednice Europske komisije, političarka je s bogatim iskustvom na čelu nekoliko njemačkih ministarstava, a rođena je i u političkoj obitelji: njezin otac je bio poznati političar Ernst Albrecht.
Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen se dolaskom na čelo Europske komisije zapravo vraća u središte Europske unije. Naime, njemačka političarka je rođena 1958. upravo u Bruxellesu, gdje je njezin otac, kasniji premijer savezne pokrajine Donja Saska Ernst Albrecht, obnašao visoke funkcije u Europskoj ekonomskoj zajednici i Europskoj zajednici, pretečama Europske unije. Von der Leyen je u Bruxellesu provela prvih 13 godina svog života
Strah od RAF-a
Od 1977. do 1980. studirala je ekonomiju na uglednoj London School of Economics. U Londonu je, zbog straha od terorista Frakcije Crvene Armije (RAF), koji su u to vrijeme prijetili njemačkim političarima i članovima obitelji, studirala pod lažnim imenom Rose Ladson.
IZABRALI NOVU ŠEFICU KOMISIJE
Plenković: Igrali smo u većoj kategoriji i svi nas respektiraju
Nakon povratka u Njemačku, buduća ministrica studirala je medicinu nakon čega je doktorirala i specijalizirala ginekologiju. 2015. su se pojavile optužbe da je von der Leyen prepisala veći dio svog doktorata. Nakon istrage Sveučilišta u Hannoveru, zaključeno je da doktorat 'sadrži greške', ali je odlučeno da Von der Leyen smije zadržati doktorsku titulu.
1986. Ursula Albrecht se udaje za liječnika i potomka poznate obitelji tekstilnih industrijalaca, Heika von der Leyena, s kojim ima sedmero djece.
Kasni ulazak u politiku
Politici se posvetila relativno kasno: članicom Kršćansko-demokratske zajednice (CDU) postala je tek 1990., a u pokrajinsku politiku je ušla krajem devedesetih.
Na saveznu političku scenu je došla 2005. kada ju je novopečena kancelarka Angela Merkel dovela na mjestu ministrice obitelji. U drugom kabinetu Merkel, Von der Leyen je obnašala mjesto ministrice rada, a 2013. je preuzela ministarstvo obrane.
