One by one, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, presented this Tuesday the composition of the next Regional Executive, in which Teresa Ribera will hold, basically, the executive vice-president and Ecological Change and the competitiveness portfolio. In addition, the German politician has given the group Giorgia Meloni the rightful deputy executive, which will be held by Raffaele Fitto, who will also be in charge of the Prosperity portfolio. After the meeting of the presidents of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, German politics gave the names of the future presidents – 27 in total, one for each Member State. Her proposal must now be approved by the European Commission and the plenary session of the European Parliament, which will have the final say and must give the green light to each of Von der Leyen’s choices.
Von der Leyen’s presentation has been in the air until this morning, due to the resignation yesterday of the French President and candidate for the next Council, Thierry Breton, who accused the President of the Regional Council of pressuring France to withdraw. The Elysée yesterday presented a new candidate, a former Foreign Minister and an independent, Stéphane Séjourné, who will also be vice president.
The European Commission’s mandate expires at the end of October, but Von der Leyen’s thirty-seven commissioners must receive the approval of the European Commission and the European Parliament. The European socialists have already warned that they will not support the concept of gender exclusion and “bring Meloni’s Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) to the heart of this institution.”
