Ursula von der Leyen is facing challenges in obtaining the necessary votes for a second term as the head of the European Commission, with opposition coming from various factions within the European parliament. She needs to secure extra votes, possibly from the Greens and Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, by addressing their key concerns such as climate protection laws and migration policies.
The opposition to Ursula von der Leyen's reappointment is rooted in national politics, with concerns ranging from her relationship with centrist president Emmanuel Macron to her support for Israel in the conflict with Palestinian Hamas. Despite these local issues, von der Leyen's decisions on major geopolitical issues like Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Covid-19, and climate change have been viewed positively.
