Ursula von der Leyen: round two
Manage episode 429595120 series 3340722
Ursula von der Leyen convinced 401 members of the European Parliament to vote in her favour, out of 707. This time, she was re-elected as Commission President with a 41-vote lead, emerging from the first plenary with a stronger mandate.
Before the vote, von der Leyen delivered a lengthy speech reaching out to centrist and left-wing parties, while excluding the far-right. She outlined the priorities for her next mandate, appearing more confident than ever, but also raising some questions.
To break down what happened during the vote for the President of the European Commission, we are joined by our politics editor Aurélie Pugnet.
