Ursula von der Leyen is seeking a new term as head of the European Commission. She was nominated by the leadership of her party, the German CDU.
“We must continue to defend ourselves against those who divide us from within and without, we must strengthen ourselves,” she said. The European People's Party, the conservative movement of which she is a member, is expected to come out on top in the June election. But his election by the European Parliament, already difficult five years ago, could once again prove complicated.
