## Resource

The EU’s big annual speech is turning into a high-stakes verbal lottery, with animal welfare groups, industry lobbyists, and even the alcohol sector scrambling for President von der Leyen’s attention. A mere mention in her address isn’t just fluff—it’s a powerful signal that an issue has landed on the political radar, potentially unlocking funding, legislation, and real-world action. With the speech penned in the final days and her team keeping secrets tight, securing a spot on the agenda feels like luck—and when it happens, the ripple effects can be seismic, as last year’s EV probe proved.
