Ursula von der Leyen is aiming for a second term as President of the EU Commission. The CDU politician explained this to the party leadership in Berlin, report the news agencies dpa and Reuters.
The post of EU Commission President must be filled after the European elections in June. As a rule, a candidate from the European party family that performs best in the European election is appointed. The EPP is clearly ahead in surveys so far. There is therefore a good chance that von Der Leyen can remain president.
