Ursula von der Leyen Re-Elected for Second Term as European Commission President

ai generated text

Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected as President of the European Commission for a second five-year term. She secured 401 votes in favor, with 284 lawmakers voting against and 15 abstaining. This represents a larger majority than her initial confirmation in 2019. Von der Leyen's re-election ensures leadership continuity for the EU as it faces various challenges, including the war in Ukraine, climate change, migration, and housing shortages. Von der Leyen has pledged to focus on creating a European Defense Union, advancing the EU's Green Deal, and supporting Ukraine. She also plans to invest in infrastructure and industry, and has vowed to deter China from invading Taiwan. Additionally, she aims to triple the strength of the bloc's border force.

  1. Manfred Weber
    EU Parliament
    1. If you want to defend democracy, vote today for Ursula von der Leyen.
  2. Terry Reintke
    Green Party
    1. Is this a green programme that she has provided us? I can tell you no.
  3. DE
    Ursula Von Der Leyen
    European Commission
    1. It will channel investment in infrastructure and industry, in particular for energy-intensive sectors.
    2. I can't begin to express how grateful I am for the trust of all MEPs that voted for me.
    3. The last five years have shown what we can do together. Let us do it again. Let us make the choice of strength.
    4. I will never let the extreme polarisation of our societies become accepted. I will never accept that demagogues and extremists destroy our European way of life. And I stand here today ready to lead the fight with all the Democratic forces in this house.
    5. We will continue to work together and build a stronger, more competitive & strategically autonomous Europe.
    6. I will, as I did last time, write a letter and ask for the proposal of a man and a woman as as candidates. Only exception, like last time, when there is an incumbent commissioner that stays.
    7. We have spared no effort. We have navigated the most troubled waters that our union has ever faced. And we have kept the course on our long-term European goals.
    8. The next five years will define Europe's place in the world for the next five decades. It will decide whether we shape our own future or let it be shaped by events or by others.
    9. I hope to have your trust and confidence for the next years. Long live Europe.
    10. This sends a strong message of confidence, and I think it's also recognition for the hard work that we carried out together in the last five years.
  4. ES
    Pedro Sánchez
    1. We will continue to work together to advance a more prosperous, sustainable and socially just European Union.
  5. FR
    Emmanuel Macron

    1. For a more sovereign, more prosperous, more competitive and more democratic Europe, congratulations dear Ursula von der Leyen.
  6. NL
    Dick Schoof
    Independent
    1. I look forward to working with you to gain more control over migration, strengthen our economy and security, and improve the prospects of the agricultural sector.
  7. PL
    Donald Tusk
    Civic Platform
    1. Times are hard, but with your courage and determination, I'm sure you'll do a great job. We will do, together.
  8. BE
    Jorgo Riss
    Greenpeace
    1. Ursula von der Leyen hasn't thrown the Green Deal overboard, but she presented an agenda for her second term which is lacking in concrete measures and major new initiatives, and which is clearly a lot less coherent than her first term.
