The EU Commission is rotten to the core, hence all the shit that comes from it, from authoritarian measures and bending over to America faster than a speeding bullet to custom-made regulations to benefit specific very large companies with an historic of giving gold plated "consultancy" positions to ex-commissioners.

The EU Parliament, on the other hand, is as Democratic as it get, being elected directly by EU Citizens using Proportional Vote.

So this surprises me not one bit.

    Everyone in Germany knew this Commission would be full of shit the moment Von Der Leyen was somehow cross-promoted to it (she's from the famously corrupt conservative "Christian Democrats", so it's no wonder she was promoted after screwing things up). We dealt with her bullshit for years prior.
