Pro-European forces celebrated the comfortable re-election of Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg’s European Parliament on Thursday. Von der Leyen relied mainly on allies to her left to secure a second term as European Commission chief – and not, as was once expected, on hard-right Conservatives. In a vote that over recent weeks has looked too close to call, von der Leyen took a majority of 41, even wider than when she first assumed the role in 2019. Crucially, she did so by relying on broad support from her own European People's Party (EPP), the Liberals of Renew Europe, the centre-left Social...

Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected as president of the European Commission in a make-or-break vote on Thursday that represented the single greatest test of her political legacy, forged across a succession of crises that have rattled the bloc's foundations. Following a grilling in the European Parliament, the incumbent received 401 votes in favour and 284 against, a large majority to support her second five-year term. The comfortable result is a decisive backing of her stewardship and marks a significant turnaround from the last time she faced the hemicycle: back in 2019, she made it thro...

Defence, competitiveness and housing were keynotes of Ursula von der Leyen's big pitch for re-election when she set out her manifesto for a further five years as European Commission president before MEPs in Strasbourg. The exhaustive speech laying out ideas and projects for a potential second term needs to persuade more than half of the lawmakers to vote for her this afternoon if she wants to secure confirmation of the European Parliament. Thursday's address aimed to hit the right notes and to appeal across the political spectrum, offering a plethora of promises that tie in with the demands ex...

The European Commission wrongly refused a request for document disclosure related to its Child Sexual Abuse law which was in the public interest, the European Ombudsman has found in a report. The ombudsman - which oversees proper administration of EU institutions – this week (16 July) investigated the Commission’s refusal to disclose policy papers and minutes of meetings with Thorn, a child protection NGO, around the proposal on rules to combat Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Thorn, a non-governmental organisation founded in 2012 by US actors Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, aims to develop ...

Who are the European Parliament's newcomers? In this episode, Radio Schuman interviews some first-timer MEPs, including ex-prime ministers and a famous influencer on TikTok. We take a quick peek on the other side of the channel, where about 45 countries are expected to meet in the UK for a summit of the European Political Community. EU-UK relations will be under scrutiny there, with a new government in London, and leaders will discuss whether to convene an EU-UK summit, an EU diplomat told Euronews. We also consider how several EU countries are unhappy about European Commission's boycott of th...

In 2019, Ursula von der Leyen secured the top job in Brussels by the skin of her teeth, when she was appointed to the Commission presidency by a margin of just nine votes in the European Parliament, the narrowest on record. Five years on, the 65-year-old German is bidding for a second term – and there's an ominous sense of déjà vu in the corridors of Strasbourg. That's because von der Leyen needs an absolute majority of votes in the 720-seat chamber on Thursday if she is to secure five more years at the executive's helm. While her own European People's Party (EPP) is confident she has both the...

The European Commission is sticking to a goal of ramping up ‘green’ hydrogen production from almost nothing to millions of tonnes a year by 2030 despite the European Court of Auditors (ECA) concluding today (17 July) that the target looks more aspirational than realistic. “The EU is unlikely to meet the targets it set for 2030,” lead author Stefan Blok told reporters ahead of the publication of an ECA report into EU hydrogen policy. “As a result, four years after the publication of the Hydrogen Strategy, we are calling for a reality check.” The highly flammable gas has been touted as a ‘green’...
