Mistake! 4:44 Romania's representative Roxana Minzatu is actually part of S&D, not EPP, as she is a member of the Social Democrat Party. Apologies for the mistake. Thanks for pointing it out in the comments. This means that S&D has 5 commissioners and EPP has 13 commissioners total

I am all for women in positions like these, but explicitly calling for women instead of men without an unbiased and objective performance review or interview beforehand is dumb! The next decades will be decided by who is most performant not who is more equal in the detriment of performance. China is winning because it doesn't have dumb ideas like this. Find better ways to get women into positions like these!!!

[TrueSunbin]

Can you make tier list of commissioner portfolios? to describe which is important and has real power and which primarily exists only to fill the gap and have 27 countries secured with something.

Man... When will people go finally to the level of not gender, but skill and knowledge based choosing. Is it just me who see this as a much more important aspect?

You can´t force woman in specific positions, they have to be qualified for the job, otherwise this whole gender parity will do Europe more harm then good.

[cooltux]

The fact that they still managed to appoint many anti-nuclear weirdos in 2024 makes me even more pessimistic about our future.

[gabor]

This kind of forced gender equality really hurts Europe.

BROOOO why did Von Der Leyen assigned the Portfolio about Cohesion&Reforms to a ECR guy ? Like WHY ? They are anti-EU reform 😭 This have to be the DUMBEST choice when you know that the EU parliament voted in favor of EU treaty reform last november

[Apexharper_UK]

Defence is not the responsibility of the EU. For that matter, neither is foreign affairs.

[pollutingpenguin]

Discrimination of men! Why should it matter which gender the politics are that the countries feel best represents set country?!

[farright]

0:40 the EU wonders why it's crap and instead of fixing it, they are getting unqualified women to do the job

Hire the best person who can handle the stress of politics

[Jurjen.]

Disgusting that policy of equal male/female ratio.
The *working*population is very different between males and females as many women choose to stay at home with their children or work part time, in which case you're not eligible for a full time job at the Commission.

[ukrbread]

I don't understand why Ursula von der Leyen cares about whether there are an equal number of men and women on the team? Like, she should choose how capable a person is, not what gender he or she is...

[catlover]

Why are there more renew ministers then S&D when the S&D got double the seats. Also why give ECR a minister when the greens saved von der lyon.

[smileysan]

As an Austrian I have to say, why do you had to give us a important roll at all?! It won't get better with us when you look at the next election in 2 weeks :c

[docopoper]

It's crazy she had to try so hard to get even 40% when her goal was 50%.

[simonbarnes]

Its weird that the number of countries is exactly the same as the number of portfolios no matter how many extra countries join or leave.

[zenster]

I think health and animal welfare is very significant. Maybe not with an incompetent EU but in my world, it is.

Can we get a petition to remove the ability of Greece to nominate anyone in the position of sustainable transportation and tourism until the european courts for the Tempi scandal concludes succesfully instead of forcing it down in a incomclusive state?
This is a disgrace of democracy and this comes from a Greek. Getting someone who was associated with a party that is responsible for two trains crushing together on the *only* railway route greece has with 55 people dead, is not makong europe look good in any way shape or form.
