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.

Quick Glance: EU Parliament Approves Comprehensive Reforms to Migration Policy

The EU Parliament has approved significant measures to reform migration policy, aiming to enhance handling irregular migration.

The reforms aim to distribute the burden on countries that historically hosted the most asylum seekers, particularly in southern EU nations.

Despite the limited scope of some reforms, the solidarity mechanism is expected to build trust between member states and create some harmony.

Implementation of the reforms will take time and ultimately depend on member states, potentially leading to political tensions.
