Lately, the president of the Commission has been “flirting” with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s group, the Conservatives and the Reformers
As the president of the Commission has recently been “flirting” with right-wing and far-right political groups, the “Green” members of the European Parliament have made it clear that they will not support Ursula von der Leyen for a second term if she makes an agreement with far-right nationalists.
According to Terry Reintke, the German president of the Greens of the European Parliament and lead candidate of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance combination, her group would not support the center-right Commission president if she cooperates with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s team ” Brothers of Italy (Brothers of Italy), the Conservatives and the Reformers (ECR).
“We are not going to join a coalition or a majority, for example, with the ECR. So von der Leyen will have to make a choice,” Reintke said, according to the Guardian.
The Green leader also warned that if the Commission president joins forces with the ECR – which has repeatedly voted against the EU’s green policies, the EU’s plan to tackle the climate crisis will be at risk.
“This would be a disaster not only for the climate, but also for Europe’s economic position” in the face of intense competition from the US and China, Reintke said.
