Von der Leyen Gets a Second Term

ER Editor: A totally predictable outcome. A reminder that a European Court ruled twice yesterday that her handling of the EU vaccine contracts had violated transparency norms. See —

Some tweets through the earlier part of today where she gets a drubbing —

Ursula von der Leyen wins second term as European Commission president

Lawmakers give the current European Commission president green light for another five years.

STRASBOURG — The European Parliament elected Ursula von der Leyen for another five years as European Commission president, choosing stability and continuity for the EU’s most powerful institution and the bloc.

Von der Leyen, who hails from the centre-right European People’s Party, won 401 votes in a secret ballot, well above the 361 votes she needed to be elected. There were 284 votes in opposition, 15 abstentions and 7 votes declared invalid.

Von der Leyen had the backing of the three mainstream, pro-EU groups — the center-right European People’s Party, the Socialists and the liberals of Renew. In the weeks and months leading up to the vote, some lawmakers within those centrist groups said they would not vote for her, forcing her to look for support from outside her current coalition, including among the left-leaning Greens.
