EU Appointments, Ursula’s Time to Make Choices. Fitto and More
Ursula of der Leyen is completing the list and in the next few days the president of the EU Commission (just re-elected), will communicate its final choices for the roles of commissionersbut especially for those of vice presidents. A topic that closely concerns Italygiven that the Minister for European Affairs of FdI Raffaele Dense is in pole position to lead Economy and the PNRR in Brussels. But the Ursula majority on nominations is divided and Socialists, Greens and Liberals they fear that von der Leyen you veer too far to the right. “The one that is circulating cannot be the definitive list. We are negotiating and we await a response from the President of the Commission. And at that point we will evaluate. Only then”. The leader of the S&D group, Iratxe Garcia Perezhas been avoiding making official statements for days.
He does not intend to stress the dialogue with Ursula von der Leyen in relation to the composition of the next European executive. But the rumours blowing from Palazzo Berlaymontcross the EPP and then spread to the offices of Brussels they don’t like them at all socialists. And not even to the Liberals and the Greens. To the point that in the last few hours a terrifying spectre has been materializing over the head of the tenant of Place Schuman – continues La Repubblica: the negative vote of a significant part of its hypothetical majority on the occasion of the final vote in Parliament on the entire college. The possibility of rejecting the Commission, in short, is no longer a taboo. And the idea of finding another leader, although remote, is not excluded. The issue is always the same.
In light of a clear majority that was formed last July with EPP, PSE, Renew and the Greens, we are once again witnessing a an imbalance to the right. Not only with the hypothesized nomination of Raffaele Dense to the vice-presidency, but with portfolios too far in line Ppe-Ecr. “Ursula – is the reasoning that is increasingly emerging in S&D – has not understood that most socialist parliamentarians are in opposition in their countries, they do not feel any constraint of government. If they are dissatisfied, they vote no. And the president must choose whether to regain the 24 of Fdi and lose seventy socialists or vice versa“.
