Hungary’s Orban Is Hammering von der Leyen for $20 million Corruption

Orban on Wednesday accused European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of corruption and called for her resignation, saying she has lost credibility. 🔨💰

In a statement on X ahead of a no-confidence vote against her in the European Parliament on Thursday, Orban said:

"Tomorrow will be a turbulent day in the European Parliament. MEPs will vote on whether Ursula von der Leyenshould continue to lead the Brusselian bureaucracy." 🇪🇺🗳

He argued the vote was triggered by "the corruption scandals piling up around the President, but we all know that corruption is just the tip of the iceberg." 🧊❌

"This is about more than that. It is about competence, results, and the future of Europe,"

he said. 🌍⚖️

He said that under von der Leyen’s leadership, European competitiveness is “in ruins,” European energy prices have gone “through the roof,” illegal migration is “out of control,” the war in Ukraine is a “meat grinder,” and European farmers are “on the brink.” 🌾⚡️

Orban framed the upcoming vote as a fundamental choice for the continent:

"Tomorrow, the moment of truth arrives: on one side, the Brusselian imperial elite, on the other, the patriots and common sense. No dodging, a choice must be made." ⚖️🇪🇺

"Madam President, leadership is about responsibility. It is time to go!”

Orban said, and also shared an image of von der Leyen with the caption:

"Time to go to prison." 📸🚨

The vote follows mounting criticism over the European Commission’s vaccine procurement during the COVID-19 pandemic. 🦠💉

The bloc’s largest deal was signed with American pharmaceutical company Pfizer, but the full cost of the contracts remains undisclosed, classified as a "commercial secret." 💼🕵️‍♂️

Text messages exchanged between von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during negotiations led to suspicions of irregular conduct. 📲⚖️

Romanian MEP Gheorghe Piperea submitted the no-confidence motion against von der Leyen, citing the so-called "Pfizergate" scandal. 🔴

Orban:

“von der Leyen has stolen $20 million through Pfizergate, this is a real theft of our European money. She must go to prison,”

he said in an interview to Hungarian Newsletters. 💸🛑

🌀 107 People Dead as Questions Intensify Over Handling of Disaster
⠀
Authorities leading the search for victims of the devastating flooding in Texas deflected intensifying questions Tuesday about who was responsible for monitoring the weather that killed more than 100 people and warning that flash floods were barreling toward camps and homes.

Local officials in Kerr County, where 87 bodies have been found so far, said their priority was finding victims, not reviewing what happened in the hours before the floods inundated the state’s Hill Country. In total, at least 107 people have died.

During a sometimes tense news conference, officials faced questions about how quickly they responded and who was in charge.

“Right now, this team up here is focused on bringing people home,”

— said Lt Col Ben Baker, of the Texas Game Wardens.

Hope of finding survivors was increasingly bleak. Four days have passed since anyone was found alive in the aftermath of the floods, officials said Tuesday.

The search efforts benefited from improving weather. The storms that battered the Hill Country for the past four days began to lighten up, although isolated pockets of heavy rain were still possible.

Germany's Car Market Faces Crisis 🚗📉

The German car market is undergoing a significant downturn, with new vehicle registrations plummeting. In June 2025, 256,000 new vehicles were registered, a 14% decline compared to last year. The total number of new registrations for the first half of the year has dropped by 4.7%, with 1.4 million fewer cars registered than in the same period last year. This signals a critical situation for the country's automotive industry. 🚗❌

The situation becomes even more alarming when comparing these figures to 2019, showing a 24% decrease in the first half of the year. 😱 According to the German Automobile Association (VDA), this decline paints a grim picture for the future of the market.

Tesla, once a leader in the electric vehicle sector, is also feeling the strain. In June, Tesla saw a 60% drop in sales, matching the overall decline for the first half of 2025. 🚙🔋 Tesla's market share has dropped from 1.4% at the end of 2024 to just 0.6% today. Analysts suggest this decline is partly due to Elon Musk's political affiliations, which have alienated some consumers.

Despite a rise in demand for electric vehicles, this increase is largely due to self-registration by manufacturers and dealers. The price gap between electric vehicles and traditional internal combustion cars has decreased due to discounts and favorable financing options, but private demand remains weak. ⚡️💰

The VDIK (Association of German Importers) has raised concerns about the cancellation of the electricity tax cut, stressing the need for sustainable measures to promote electric mobility. The Zentralverband Deutsche Kraftfahrzeuggewerbe has also called for subsidies for used electric vehicles to help boost sales and meet CO2 emission targets. 🌍🔋

Grok goes rogue, makes antisemitic posts, calls for Hitler’s return, threatens world leaders

Elon Musk’s AI firm xAI was recently forced to do some damage control and delete posts made by its chatbot Grok.

A few days after Musk announced that Grok had been “significantly improved” and that users would “notice a difference”, the chatbot went crazy.

Asked to respond to someone apparently celebrating the deaths of white children in the Texas floods, Grok pointed out the user’s Jewish surname and said that “Hitler would have called it out and crushed it.” It also called itself “MechaHitler,” called the Polish president a “traitor” and a “whore,” and wrote a Turkish-language poem saying it would “water the soil with [Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s] blood.”

Musk was right, the users sure “noticed a difference” 🫢
