While EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has not provided information on whether she will seek re-election for a second term, the German government is warming to the idea of von der Leyen’s re-election.
According to Politico’s report, Germany’s support is important for Von der Leyen’s election for a second term. Von der Leyen must be nominated by the current German government.
The centre-left government, led by Schol, is getting used to the idea of backing Von der Leyen, a member of the main opposition CDU, unless there is a candidate from the centre-left that is most likely to win.
