Первая женщина-президент Европейской комиссии

Первая женщина-президент Европейской комиссии - Урсула фон дер Лейен была подтверждена после голосования в Европейском парламенте в Страсбурге, в понедельник (16 июля). В своем обращении к парламенту ван дер Лайен представила свою платформу для более зеленой, справедливой и основанной на правилах Европы.

Ее кандидатуру поддержали 383 голоса и 327 против, заявил Дэвид Сассоли, президент Европейского парламента во время объявления результов. Порог был в 374 голоса.

При поддержке 52% победная маржа фон дер Лейена соответствовала последним тенденциям. Нынешний президент Комиссии Жан-Клод Юнкер получил 56%, в то время как его предшественник Жозе Мануэль Баррозу получил 52% за свой второй мандат и 56% за свой первый срок.

"Доверие, которое вы мне оказали, - это доверие, которое вы оказали Европе. Ваша уверенность в объединенной и сильной Европе с востока на запад, с юга на север", - сказал немецкий консерватор, который ранее на этой неделе подала в отставку с поста министра обороны Берлина. "Это большая ответственность, и моя работа начинается сейчас".

"Давайте работать вместе и конструктивно, потому что наше общее стремление - это объединенная и сильная Европа", - сказала Урсула фон дер Лейен членам Европарламента после того, как они подтвердили ее в должности. Она вступит в должность 1 ноября.
