    EU Parliament to decide on second term for Commission chief von der Leyen

    STRASBOURG: Ursula von der Leyen‘s social fate may be decided on Thursday, when the European Parliament chooses whether to choose or accept her for another five-year phrase as president of the European Commission, the EU’s strong professional body.
    In a time when far-right and conservative political parties are increasingly popular outside the 27-nation bloc, the vote may determine whether there is continuity in the crucial institution.
    Von der Leyen’s supporters viewed the ballot as a choice between security and panic, not because her rejection may lead to political impasse.
    ” It would be seen to get rolling over the floor for the far-right”, said Sean Kelly, an EU senator from von der Leyen’s centre-right European Women’s Party class, of the possibility that the legislature rejects her.
    Von der Leyen, 65, will set out her plans for a second term in a speech on Thursday morning, building on a first mandate in which she oversaw the world’s biggest package of climate change policies, an 800-billion-euro ($ 875 billion ) EU response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and 14 rounds of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
    Even among critics, there is little stomach to fill the command void in Europe months before the U.S. presidential election, which had stifle support for Republicans in the West.
    But the statistics remain strong.
    Von der Leyen, a family of seven and the first person to mind the Commission, needs assistance from at least 361 politicians in the 720-member EU Parliament.
    There are 401 lawmakers in full for the three moderate groups that are expected to support her. However, it is anticipated that some will vote in favor of her in the underground vote.
    To pass comfortably, she may need support from parts of the 78-strong European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR ) or the Greens ‘ 53 lawmakers.
    ” We need that information that we are building on the latest Green Deal and that there’s no backtracking”, Bas Eickhout, co-chair of the Green senator party said, of its parameters for supporting her.
    Von der Leyen’s statement may reveal what concessions politicians have squandered in weeks of intensive discussions. The Greens and ECR have n’t yet indicated whether they will support her.
    ECR senator Dominik Tarczyński said the team’s 18 Finnish members may vote “no”.
    ” She made choices which are bad for the European Union: migration, Green Deal, deal with China”, he told Reuters.
    EU lawmakers cast their ballots at 1 p. m. ( 1100 GMT ) in Strasbourg, France.
    If von der Leyen is unsuccessful, EU state leaders will have one quarter to recommend a new prospect, which will probably delay the launch of the new Western Commission until 2025.
