German conservative politician Ursula von der Leyen won a second term as president of the European Commission through intense negotiations and securing 401 votes in favor in the European Parliament, focusing on business, conservative values, and external security threats.
The centrist coalition supporting von der Leyen included the EPP, S&D, Renew, and the Greens, despite some debate on whether to isolate or incorporate far-right parties that have gained significant political ground, resulting in a cordon sanitaire against certain far-right groups.
