European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected for second term on Thursday after Green MEPs agreed to back her following her pledge to stay the course on Europe's green transition while cushioning its burden on industry.
Ms von der Leyen was comfortably re-elected as the 720-member European Parliament approved her with 401 votes in favour, 284 against and 15 abstentions. She needed 361 votes to pass.
