President Ursula von der Leyen

Ursula von der Leyen

The European Parliament elected Ursula von der Leyen as European Commission president, with 383 votes to 327, and 22 abstentions.
To convince MEPs, she had laid out plans for a European Green Deal against climate change, vowed to ensure gender parity in her college of commissioners and called for improvements to the ‘lead candidates’ system.

Over 200 million people voted in the European elections. Europe has influence. Europe wants to take responsibility for itself in the world. This is why I need your help and your support. It’s the most precious thing we have.

President Ursula von der Leyen

Es lebe Europa. Vive l’Europe. Long live Europe.

Manfred Weber, the leader of the EPP group, had said that they would be supporting her nomination. The Socialists and the Renew Europe group in the Parliament also lent her their support. But not all of the political groups supported her candidacy. Having successfully clinched the required overall majority of the votes, von der Leyen will head the European Commission for the next five years.
