Quick Glance: Von der Leyen’s Re-election Chances Impacted by €17k-a-Month Job for Ally
- Ursula von der Leyen’s bid for a second term as president of the European Commission has been marred by accusations of favoritism in the selection of a fellow party member for a lucrative new job.
- Some of the highest-ranking individuals in Brussels, including EU's chief diplomat Josep Borrell and French commissioner Thierry Breton, have penned a letter to von der Leyen expressing concerns about the transparency and impartiality of the nomination process.
- The commission defended the appointment, showing confidence in the procedure's compliance. The intervention of senior EU politicians marks the first sign of trouble for von der Leyen's re-election campaign.
- Member states are expected to back her post-election, but her reappointment will likely require approval from socialist and liberal groups for a majority vote.
