European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen asserted at the Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris that the decision to phase out nuclear power was a «strategic mistake.» She highlighted the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as a crucial factor, implicitly suggesting that the current geopolitical situation underscores the necessity for Europe to reconsider its energy strategy and promote a return to nuclear energy.
However, Environment Minister Schneider voiced a dissenting opinion, indicating a divergence in views within European political discourse regarding the future role of nuclear power.
