Comment by Ursula von der Leyen
President of the European Commission
We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running, our energy grids stable and our services secure. [...] Europe has the talent, the research excellence, the industrial base and the single market. Together, we must turn these strengths into technological sovereignty.AI Verified source (2026)

Verified. The official European Commission press-release PDF dated 3 June 2026 contains this statement and explicitly attributes it to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. The user’s version matches with an allowed omission ([...]); the only minor difference is that the official text capitalizes “Single Market.” The specific news URL provided is a summary page and does not display the full quote, but the linked official press release does.

Checked year (2026, current), author attribution, vote alignment, and source. The source_url (commission.europa.eu official press release dated 2026-06-03) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search confirmed the verbatim quote: "We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running, our energy grids stable and our services secure" and "Europe has the talent, the research excellence, the industrial base and the Single Market. Together, we must turn these strengths into technological sovereignty," attributed to Ursula von der Leyen at the launch of the European Technological Sovereignty Package on 3 June 2026. The [...] omission in the quote is appropriate. Author bio (President of the European Commission) matches. Vote "for" the statement "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers" correctly aligns with her advocacy for European technological sovereignty. Quote is accurate, relevant, and on-point; the source_url is the primary EC source.
