ER Editor: A reminder that former EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson was (we believe past tense may be appropriate here) the famous knitter in the EU Parliament. Especially when von der Leyen was speaking. These come from 2023 and 2021 respectively.
🇪🇺 European Commissioner Ylva Johansson was filmed knitting during yesterday’s speech by EC President Ursula von der Leyen on the state of affairs in the EU.

This Guardian report from April 2022 reveals that Fabrice Leggeri, discussed below, was in fact removed from his post as the head of Frontex for trying to do his job, namely to prevent people from coming into the EU at border points, which then turned into allegations against him of fraud —

EU’s Former Border Chief Said Commissioner Pressured Him To Embrace Open Borders
Former Frontex chief and National Rally MEP Fabrice Leggeri has spoken about how the European Union elite exerted immense pressure on him when he tried to defend EU borders against mass migration, including a key commissioner who claimed it was his job to “welcome migrants.”
The Frontex Fundamental Rights Office has gradually expanded significantly.
In 2020 and 2021, Leggeri became the target of political attacks from the European Commission, led by Commissioner Ylva Johansson of the socialist Swedish Workers’ Party.
“When I looked through her CV before our first meeting, I thought: ‘She’s probably impossible to work with.’ But she was a commissioner and had real influence,” said the Frenchman. “[…] At our first meeting, I explained to her what we were doing – developing a European border and coast guard, with uniforms and weapons, and why we were experiencing some delays. She interrupted me and said: ‘You don’t need weapons and uniforms.’ Because, as she said, the role of the border guard is to welcome migrants,” Leggeri reported.
He also said that Johansson threatened him twice, telling him: “Like it or not, your job is to welcome migrants.”
Leggeri was subjected to pressure for attempting to fulfill Frontex’s mandate – supporting member states in managing the EU’s external borders and combatting cross-border crime, including illegal migration.
The MEP, now a member of the Patriots for Europe group, shared the details with Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik, a member of the Confederation’s European Parliament, according to the Do Rzezcy news portal.
Leggeri explained that initially, the European Commission showed some support for Frontex’s actions, but at the same time, it was increasingly pressured by the proliferation of pro-immigration NGOs.
Their “activists,” calling themselves “defenders of fundamental rights,” gradually attempted to “advise” and “consult” Frontex against counteracting the influx of illegal migrants. They recommended, for example, busing illegal immigrants from the Belarusian-Lithuanian border to Lithuania and Poland.
Therefore, Leggeri advised the Polish authorities against using Frontex’s assistance.
“It was October 2019. That’s when I felt real pressure, political hostility towards the very idea of border management. Previously, the idea was to create a kind of European border guard to support national border services. But from the moment Johansson arrived, various organized actions began against me and Frontex itself,” Leggeri said. He added that George Soros’ Open Society Foundation and some left-wing media outlets were involved.
As he explained, Johansson and Soros’ operatives worked to take over Frontex from within and reinforce left-wing NGO activists who would ensure the entry of illegal migrants into European countries. The idea was to create a command structure parallel to that of the member states, in order to paralyze border defenses against illegal aliens. This selected staff, so-called “fundamental rights controllers” and “independent officers,” went into the field, including to Lithuania, and began intimidating member states’ border guards by claiming that the orders issued by their superiors were allegedly illegal.
