Eight days after the European elections, the controversy on the highest European places of work started in Brussels. Within the essential consultations, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Donald Tusk would be the two negotiators from the EPP aspect, on condition that they had been each leaders who supported the candidacy of Ursula von der Leyen for the presidency of the Fee.
“Olaf Solz and Pedro Sanchez are the negotiators for the Socialists and it seems to be like tonight we would have a political deal as a result of it appears they’ve come to the conclusion that the leaders are in favor of Ursula von der Leyen (EPP) operating for a second time period in Fee, the Portuguese Antonio Costa (Socialists) to be a candidate for the presidency of the European Council within the place of Charles Michel and the Estonian Prime Minister Kaia Kallas (RENEW- Liberals) to be a candidate for the place of the Excessive Consultant of the European Union” he broadcast on the central information bulletin, ERTNews correspondent in Brussels Irini Zarkadoula.
As for Ursula von der Leyen, plainly everybody helps her and plainly most agreements had been closed on the G7 summit, the journalist underlined. The one one who to this point appears to disagree is none aside from Viktor Orbán. Be that as it might, even if that is so, Ursula von der Leyen is usually a candidate as a result of she wants a professional majority, i.e. 15 of the 27 international locations representing 65% of the European inhabitants.
In relation to Antonio Costa, there are some leaders who say they wish to speak somewhat extra. It’s famous that a short while in the past he had points with the judiciary in relation to his involvement in a corruption scandal. No expenses have been laid, however he’s somebody Brussels likes. As Irini Zarkadoula mentioned, he has been getting ready for this place for at the very least three years and even improved his English because of this.
“Basically we’re speaking a few story of give and take. That’s, the European Folks's Occasion has 190 seats in the mean time, it’s stronger than it was. The primary all the time will get the European Fee, till the ultimate fall he claims the presidency. So right here, the European Folks's Occasion is essentially the most highly effective, so it doesn’t depart the Fee presidency. The Socialists as second – 136 seats in the mean time – need the Council and naturally Costa is an individual who is usually accepted. Then again, the Valtes within the earlier 5 years had not taken any robust place. So now they need to get one thing” defined Irini Zarkadoula.
If issues go easily at the moment and there’s a political settlement, the leaders return on 27 and 28 June for the common Summit and naturally to debate their priorities, that’s the strategic agenda of 2024-2029: defence, competitiveness, immigration, innovation.
Then as soon as the proposal is formally made, the president of the European Fee should undergo a listening to by the European Parliament, from the 720 new MEPs. It’s most certainly to happen on the first Plenary Session of the European Parliament from July 16 to 18.
The objective was even earlier than the European elections, and more likely now that the beans are clear, to complete as quickly as potential. An ungoverned European Union in the summertime means instability within the economic system, a rise in spreads, Putin's pleasure. “All the things should be completed earlier than the summer season holidays. That is the objective,” emphasised the correspondent of the general public radio and tv.
