EU: Ursula von der Leyen seeks a second term as head of the European Commission. The European elections will lead to a renewal of the heads of the main institutions.
If the radical right emerges strengthened from the next elections, it risks toughening migration policy. The strengthening of European defense should also occupy a central place for the future Commission, says the former German Defense Minister. The Social Democrats must nominate their candidate for the presidency of the Commission at the beginning of March, she says.
