🇪🇺 - Sources claim that President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen actually struggles with some mental issues now, believing that her mandate in charge of the EU allows her to pass pretty much any measure by her own decree.
Reportedly, that is the reason why she decided to greenlight the EU-Mercosur deal unilaterally without any kind of procedure. Many legal experts aren't sure that move by the President was legal to begin with.
Insiders claim many EU leaders are annoyed and alarmed. Opposition is led by the French President Emmanuel Macron who was determined to re-negotiate the free trade deal.
Earlier this month, other reports surfaced claiming that President Macron himself experienced serious downfall in his mental health, goes through manic episodes, refuses meeting large share of government officials, spends much time alone, and increasingly considers his mandate to be wider than the normal range of powers French presidents used to exercise.

The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. "Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety.
