European Commission Head Ursula von der Leyen’s Speech Interrupted by Barking Dog at European Parliament Plenary Session

After the speech of the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, a dog barking came from the speakers in the hall. The corresponding video appeared on the Internet.

The head of the EC summed up the results of Spain’s six-month presidency of the EU Council from the rostrum.

“Let’s show our citizens the power of Europe when it is united and stands with its head held high. Glory to Europe! – she finished her speech.

After von der Leyen collected her papers and left the lectern, a dog barked from the speakers. At first, bewilderment appeared on the faces of those present, after which laughter was heard in the hall.

The barking from the speakers was explained by the presence of service dogs in the European Parliament building.

The leader of the European People’s Party faction who replaced the head of the EC on the podium Manfred Weberhowever, did not miss the opportunity to joke that “this is, apparently, another supporter of Ursula von der Leyen at this plenary session.”
