Ursula von der Leyen

In 2019, Ursula von der Leyen made history by becoming the first woman to preside over the European Commission. Until then, she had pursued her political career in Germany, where she held various ministerial positions, including Minister of Defense. Since arriving in Brussels, her name has been linked to some of the European Union's most important decisions, from managing the pandemic to energy policy and international relations. In 2014, she was elected to a second term. Her Caganer figurine depicts her with her characteristic short blonde hair and a double-breasted pink jacket. This figure adds to our collection one of the leading figures in 21st-century European politics.
