She's speaking in the context of money ownership. What she means by digital euro is central bank issued money - that is a payment token that YOU hold and YOU pass it to whomever you like, just like you do with a physical coin or bank note. When you use a debit card or send a bank transfer, you use bank/issuer/processor money in a complex chain of proxies, each of which charges commission and can - in the worst case - stop the transfer. Both are technically digital, but it's different money from ownership perspective.

How you describe it, new digital one sounds better. Less middlemen, less different rules.
