Ursula von der Leyen, Reluctant Campaigner
At the recent EPP congress in Romania, Ursula von der Leyen, the current European Commission chief, could have seized the moment to emerge as a fierce political campaigner. However, her approach was more subdued, reflecting her already strong position as the favorite for the EPP's lead candidate. Despite her lack of enthusiasm for campaigning, von der Leyen has been gradually aligning herself with her conservative base over the past year, making strategic moves to secure support.
Women's Rights in Danger
As the European Parliament election approaches, concerns are rising about the potential impact on women's rights. With far-right parties gaining ground across the EU, there is a real risk that progress on gender equality could be rolled back. Activists are warning that funding cuts and weakened legislation could have serious consequences for women across Europe. The election in June will be a critical moment to safeguard the hard-won gains in gender equality.
Far-Right Picks Danish Debater, Focuses on Migration
The far-right Identity & Democracy group has selected Danish People's Party MEP Anders Vistisen as its chief debater for the upcoming discussions between lead candidates. Vistisen's focus on migration and challenging the status quo in the European Parliament reflects the group's strategy to make an impact on the political landscape. Despite some discrepancies in how the move was described, the far-right is gearing up to make its presence felt in the upcoming election.
