VALENTINES

In a speech to the European Parliament Plenary on the conclusions of meeting in March, von der Leyen said: “I am the first woman to be president of the European Commission. I am the president of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago. Like a commission president, but I was not.”

Von der Leyen, who didn't publicly blame either Erdogan or Michel for the incident, said she saw no shortage of chairs in other similar meetings in the past.

“I felt hurt and I felt alone, as a woman, and as a European. Because it is not about seating arrangements or protocol. This goes to the core of who we are,” she said.

"I cannot find any justification for the way I was treated in the European Treaties. So, I have to conclude, it happened because I am a woman. Would this have happened if I had worn a suit and a tie?"

The apparent protocol gaffe at the Turkish presidential palace ignited a public uproar and was quickly dubbed "sofagate".

Ursula von der Leyen expressed her concerns about the incident on Twitter

Turkey insisted that the EU’s own protocol requests were applied but the European Council head of protocol said his team didn't have access to the room where the incident happened during their preparatory inspection.

Michel issued a statement in a Facebook post the day after the meeting but did not apologise for his actions, nor did he suggest he was in any way to blame, insisting of the incident had given a false impression.

They would probably have to have postponed the meeting for a month so the EU could agree on the seating arrangements

So speaks the voice of a political Titan. Emma get a grip she’s done well for herself as she’s smart and politically capable. You may not agree with her politics but fuck me you cannot knock her ability or her success as an individual.
