“For the first time, we achieved perfect gender balance in the top positions. Europe is not only talking about women, it is choosing women,” Tusk told the assembly, which will vote on von der Leyen in mid-July. Their three-day deliberations were messy, highlighting the splintering of the pro-European center in the EU and its implications for future decision-making in the world’s largest trading bloc and its half a billion people.
“It is clear that only when we are united can we counterbalance the most powerful global players,” he said.
