## Official source context

European Commission official transcript: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_26_1765
Official PDF saved as: `sources/eu-commission-speech-26-1765.pdf`

The official English transcript says: “But Europe has savings. And unfortunately, those savings are sitting idle. Today, EUR 10 trillion in household savings are kept in bank accounts. And a large share of Europe's savings is invested outside our continent. Europe now needs to put these savings to work for its companies. This is the goal of the ‘savings and investment union'. We have tabled proposals on securitisation, on bank and insurance investments, and on the integration and supervision of our markets. Together, these measures could unlock up to EUR 470 billion in additional investment.”

## Evidence limits

The X post says “They're coming for your savings.” PBC preserves that warning as the social-post framing. The official transcript supports the narrower claim that von der Leyen argued Europe should put idle household savings to work for European companies through the Savings and Investment Union, including securitisation and market integration/supervision proposals. The official transcript does not itself say bank deposits will be confiscated.
