by AI | 15.Nov 2024 | Europe in brief AI

BRUSSELS (ANP) – The approval of a new European Commission has descended into chaos. The center-right EPP, the social democrats, and the liberal Renew are clashing over three candidate commissioners, two of whom are also intended vice-presidents. The candidates are the Hungarian candidate-commissioner Olivér Várhelyi (Health and Animal Welfare), the Spanish Teresa Ribera (Competitiveness), and the Italian Raffaele Fitto (Cohesion policy). Political tensions between the parties are running high, and the atmosphere is tense, report various Brussels sources.
