  • European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and her new commission won a clear majority in Strasbourg on Wednesday but rarely has the political mood in the chamber felt so fractious, writes Ton

The article from RTE discusses the tenure of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission, highlighting her leadership during significant challenges like Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine conflict. It notes her efforts in pushing forward the European Green Deal, aiming for climate neutrality by 2050, and her role in securing vaccines for the EU during the health crisis. Despite these achievements, von der Leyen has faced criticism for perceived favoritism towards Germany, her handling of rule-of-law issues in Poland and Hungary, and her approach to migration policies. Her term has been marked by a shift towards more geopolitical engagement, with initiatives like the Global Gateway strategy to counterbalance China's Belt and Road. As her term nears its end, speculation about her future political ambitions, possibly aiming for a second term or another significant EU role, is rife, amidst a backdrop of increasing Euroscepticism and calls for EU reform.
