Germany to endorse von der Leyen for second term, sources say

Jun 14th, 11:50:31

 

BERLIN (Reuters) - The government of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will propose a second term of office for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at a meeting of European Union leaders on Monday, government sources told Reuters.

 

Von der Leyen, who is German, has headed the EU's executive body since 2019 and has been strengthened by this month's election to the European Parliament as her centre-right European People's Party (EPP) gained seats in voting across the EU.

 

But to secure a second five-year term, von der Leyen needs the support of a majority of the EU's national leaders and a working majority in the European Parliament.

 

Scholz's government is widely expected to endorse von der Leyen but has not said so publicly.
