This is not confirmed yet. And anyway, can you imagine Manfred Webber president of the commission? It would have been so much worse. I'm in favor of the Spitzenkandidat if we get transnational lists and parties running with their European affiliation on the ballot.

Do you think France or any of the others would agree to another German after Ursula? There’ll be cries of Germany running the EU

Can you elaborate on what is not confirmed yet?

Manfred Weber would have been a bad choice, but Von der Leyens election was not very democratic
