Erster Test ist die wichtige Anhörung der neuen EU-Kommissare. Sie dürfte dieses Mal nicht nur inhaltlich, sondern auch parteipolitisch getrieben sein. Das ist gefährlich, warnt Sophia Russack.

Once every five years the European Parliament gets to pick off a Commission nominee or two — and rarely fails to do so. Here’s who might not survive.

That's new! Or old: Prodi (Commission President 1999-2004) moved his Commissioners' offices into the buildings of their respective DGs. Barroso moved the College back to the Berlaymont. Now #vonderleyen introduced two offices. Curious how this will pan out!

Thierry Breton is out of the way, ridding the European Commission chief of her fiercest internal critic.

VDL's new College setup! First quick observations: #vonderleyen abolishes the extra VP-layer and thereby moves closer to the Juncker setup. Four of six EVPs are female. She kept her word to reward those MS that sent female candidates: 🇷🇴 gets an EVP and 🇸🇮 gets enlargement.
Across generations. From all backgrounds. With different experiences. But all with one common goal: to make Europe stronger. The structure of von der Leyen II Commission.

Join us for our online debate on Thursday! 📺 We'll discuss the rise of the far-right across the EU and in the EP with @spornschlegel, @MaxGriera and Catherine de Vries!.
🔎Far-right parties are making headway throughout the European Union, but how can their electoral successes be explained? What are far-right parties actually – and what distinguishes them from the traditional right?. 🖥️ We will discuss this and much more at our webinar on 19

VDL managed to walk the policy-priority-tightrope and the Greens decided to play ball. Maybe the 24 Fratelli d'Italia MEPs would have voted for #VDL if the @europeangreens had not announced to. Still, the Greens appear as the kingmaker for her second term.
