EU leaders endorse candidates for top roles in commission, parliament | DW News

EU leaders meeting in Brussels have nominated Ursula von der Leyen for a second term as president of the European Commission. Former Portuguese prime minister Antonio Costa will be the future head of the European Council, while Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas is likely to become the next EU's foreign policy chief. Roberta Metsola, a conservative from Malta, is expected to be elected for a second term as President of the EU Parliament, where some of the nominations for top posts have yet to be confirmed in a secret ballot.

Definately von der Leyen is still a good choice for EU. Her vast experience and her work are remarkable.

Not surprised at all. Ursula's EPP group has got the most seats in EU election 188(25%)/750. The EU ppls know she is group leader.

Von der Luyen does not deserve another term ...
What she did during Covid was a disgrace deserving of investigating.

How is strange that a people was corrupt in his region go and be president of the European council ! There is something wrong with this system ! If a normal person commits such a thing, he goes to jail ! While in this case he is rewarded for a more important post ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If she doesn't get a new term, does she get a job at some independent Washington think tank or something?

[alexeyeryomin]

Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kaja are sweet, kind girls, the same as the NATO defensive strategy, somewhat similar to the actress Leni Riefenstahl
