Ursula von der Leyen Unveils New European Commission Leadership Team Amid Ongoing Challenges

ai generated text

Ursula von der Leyen has unveiled her new top team for the European Commission, which will help guide the EU through the next five years of global uncertainty. The team includes several high-profile appointments, with France's Stephane Sejourne and Spain's Teresa Ribera both taking on executive vice president roles. Sejourne will oversee industrial strategy, while Ribera, a climate campaigner, will lead on defense. The new team will face significant challenges, including wars in Gaza and Ukraine, migration, climate change, and economic competitiveness. The nominees must be confirmed by the European Parliament, a process that could extend to late October. The "core priorities" of the new team are built around "prosperity, security, and democracy".

    European Commission
    1. It's about strengthening our tech sovereignty, our security and our democracy.
    2. This happens against a backdrop of competitiveness that we need for the twin transition: the decarbonisation and digitalisation of our economies.
    3. When I received the first set of nominations and candidates, we were on track for around 22 percent women and 78 percent men. That was unacceptable.

    Maroš Šefčovič
    European Commission
    1. Thank you, EU Commission President von der Leyen, for your continued trust.
    2. Truly honoured to be entrusted with trade and economic security as well as with interinstitutional relations and transparency. Crucial for the EU's standing both at home and internationally.
  3. European Network Against Racism
    1. We urge the Commission to enhance its efforts, particularly by implementing stronger participatory mechanisms for racialised communities, ensuring their input is central to policy-making, and addressing the democratic deficit while adhering to equality and anti-racist principals.

    1. Despite some impressive sounding job titles for the new commissioners, the EU's shaky green and social agenda has so far failed communities facing floods, wildfires or job insecurity.
    2. Europe is already the fastest warming continent on the planet, with nature devastated by industrial farming and pollution – the challenge is well-documented, but it's still unclear if this Commission can pull Europe back from the brink of ecological collapse and protect people's livelihoods.
