There are many indications that the President of the Commission will be in office for a second term. But she has not yet closed her party family behind her. Some want a first Eastern European.
One of Ursula von der Leyen’s greatest attributes is perfection. The German leaves nothing to chance when it comes to public appearances: appearance, language and gestures are meticulously prepared, which gives her speeches a less spontaneous, stiff character. Your almost 1.5 million Twitter followers are regularly kept up to date on the current projects of the EU Commission. Critical questions from journalists, however, bounce off the president. Your authority maintains a communication policy that likes to get rid of sensitive matters with “No comment”. As an experienced politician, the 64-year-old mother of seven has learned her lesson: she held three ministerial posts under Angela Merkel and was deputy chairwoman of the CDU for nine years.
But what are the chances of von der Leyen for a second term as Commission President? She herself is still reticent about running for office again, but nobody in Brussels doubts that she will run again. Von der Leyen already has the support of her home party: This was confirmed by CDU leader Friedrich Merz a little over a week ago.
