Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, wants to continue, which is considered an open secret in Brussels. But the tug of war over the top candidate principle is causing unrest.
It is still over a year until the upcoming EU elections, from 6 to 9 June 2024, member states will be asked to vote. In Austria probably on Sunday 9 June.
A certain unrest and immense activity can already be felt in Brussels, parties, parliamentary groups and individual politicians are positioning themselves. After all, it is not only about the future composition of the EU Parliament, but also about the EU Commission. That Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wants to add another term of office is considered certain.
But the dispute over the top candidate principle that erupted after the 2019 elections is resurfacing.
