European Parliament Elects New Leadership Amidst Shifting Political Landscape

Today, the newly constituted European Parliament begins the process of electing its own leadership for the next five years. With a more conservative center and the rise of far-right factions, the 'Game of Thrones' for power in the EU is intensifying.

The center alliance, consisting of the Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, and Liberals, holds a majority in the parliament and will play a crucial role in shaping decisions. However, there are divisions within the alliance, particularly regarding climate goals and EU debt.

The influence of the Greens has weakened, as they are courted by some factions while kept at a distance by others. The far-right parties, including Fidesz and the National Rally, have formed new factions and are asserting their positions against the EU institutions.

The newly elected members of the European Parliament have the power to appoint the leadership and potentially create a leadership chaos if Ursula von der Leyen does not receive the necessary votes for re-election as Commission President.

The parliamentary landscape is also witnessing debates on key issues such as the end of combustion engines and stronger commitment to environmental protection. Overall, the European Parliament is navigating a shifting political landscape as it sets up a defense committee and confronts the challenges of the future.
