von der Leyen: I will never accept that demagogues and extremists destroy our European way of life.

"I will never accept that demagogues and extremists destroy our European way of life. And I stand here today ready to lead the fight with all the democratic forces in this house...I have listened carefully to the democratic forces in this parliament and I am convinced that these guidelines reflect how much we have in common despite the differences that are healthy in any democracy."
