Ursula von der Leyen announced her new list of EU Commission members, including politically significant appointments like Stephane Sejourne after Thierry Breton's abrupt resignation, amid gender balance aspirations.
Breton's resignation letter criticized von der Leyen's governance, claiming her decision-making lacked transparency and was motivated by political maneuvering, leading to potential resentment within the Commission.
The composition of von der Leyen’s new cabinet reflects ongoing political dynamics, with significant roles assigned to figures from Italy, Spain, and Lithuania, addressing broader EU concerns.
Despite striving for gender parity within her Commission, von der Leyen's final list resulted in only 40% female representation, falling short of her original expectations.
