'Resign!' Ursula von der Leyen's 'disgraceful' attempt to boast 'Team Europe' backfires
URSULA VON DER LEYEN's attempt to praise her Commission's efforts in the fight against coronavirus brutally backfired on Twitter.
AstraZeneca ‘has to catch up’ says Ursula von der Leyen
The Commission President posted on her Twitter account a message of praise for "Team Europe" over the bloc's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. She wrote: "As #TeamEurope, we work with partners around the globe to cushion the impact of the pandemic and initiate a sustainable recovery.

"We need to be better prepared to address future health crises, together. The work starts now."
But the message soon backfired as Twitter users were quick to lambast the EU chief calling on her to resign over her failures.
One user wrote: "Focus on vaccinating EU residents, you are far behind!!"
And another: "Hurry up and get the vaccines out faster!"
And another: "'The work starts now.' What did you do the last 12 months?"
Several people called for Ms von der Leyen to step down.
One said: "You have exacerbated the problem in the EU. It is disgraceful that you mock Europeans by claiming catastrophic failure as victory. Resign."
Another echoed: "What Team Europe are you talking about? Go home, everything you do turns into a calamity."

And another: "It’s great that you’re having fun. Hey, about that vaccine order you messed up: why do you still have a job?"
One user added: "EU shown its colours. It would rather play political games with Oxford AstraZeneca causing higher deaths than admit how disastrously you handle a pandemic.
"660,000 lives lost in EU countries is a disgrace. You have their deaths on your hands however you try and sound in control."
Someone else called for the EU to be scrapped altogether.
