Von der Leyen continues to fight for more women in top positions

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, still believes that there should be many more female Commissioners than is likely to happen now. As far as is known, eight women are nominated to be part of the new commission, which has 27 commissioners. Von der Leyen has explicitly asked the member states of the European Union to nominate both a man and a woman, but this has hardly been heeded.
