Ursula von der Leyen has been nominated by the EPP for the presidency of the Commission. The German made enemies during her first mandate in the European Parliament.
She is running for a second term, and that she is a candidate to be their leader in European elections in June. The EPP congress in Bucharest, on March 6 and 7, will formally designate VDL as the next president of the European Commission. It is not a courtesy visit but an obligatory passage, as was his knighting by the German Christian Democrats.
