I think most of Europe is lost due to the self loathing of their leftists. In one of the videos comijng out of the ARC conference a speaker pointed out that all of the European leaders are childless. What a strange state of affairs.
This results in the "cat lady syndrome" of misplaced and exagerated empathy.
, Childless EU Leaders (as of March 3, 2025):
- Emmanuel Macron - President of France Married to Brigitte Macron since 2007, no biological children. Brigitte has three children from a previous marriage, but Macron has no children of his own.
- Olaf Scholz - Chancellor of Germany Married to Britta Ernst since 1998, no children.
- Mark Rutte - Prime Minister of the Netherlands Unmarried, no children.
- Xavier Bettel - Prime Minister of Luxembourg Married to Gauthier Destenay since 2015, no children.
- Klaus Iohannis - President of Romania Married to Carmen Iohannis since 1989, no children.
- Kaja Kallas - Prime Minister of Estonia (until January 2025)** Married to Arvo Hallik since 2018, no biological children.
- Former Leaders: Some frequently cited childless leaders, like Angela Merkel (Germany), Theresa May (UK, pre-Brexit), or Jean-Claude Juncker (European Commission), are no longer in office as of 2025, so they are excluded from the list.
If you expanded the list to NATO leaders you would get more.
