Ursula has been placed where she is by Angela Merkel because of the scandals linked to the ministry Von Der Hiena was in charge of:

“…at least one of the scandals surrounding the defence ministry is closely linked to Von der Leyen: a parliamentary committee is investigating accusations of nepotism in connection to the allocation of contracts worth hundreds of millions of euros to external consultants. One management consultancy firm awarded with jobs was McKinsey, where her son works as an associate.” (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/04/germans-condemn-own-candidate-for-top-eu-job-ursula-von-der-leyen ) McKinsey coordinated the scamdemic response here in Europe, Canada and even in the US. Here is France, they have offices inside the ministries and one of the directors of this firm is the son of the President of our Supreme Court. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. All the institutions are rotten.
