European lawmakers vote on whether German politician Ursula von der Leyen will become the next president of the European Commission
Ursula Von der Leyen, German politician and EU Commission presidential candidate, attended the group meetings of political parties in the European Parliament in Brussels as a speaker.
To appease them, von der Leyen pledged more ambitious carbon dioxide emissions targets, a more growth-oriented fiscal policy and taxing big tech companies. Her pledges came amidst anger among some EU lawmakers over her nomination by EU leaders and their rejection of the "spitzenkandidaten", the main parliamentary groups' candidates for the job.
She can count on 182 votes from the conservative European People’s Party and needs to win over the 153 members of the Progressive Alliance of Social ists and Democrats and the 108 from the Renew Europe liberals.
