  • The main European political families have agreed to form the new leadership of the European Union.
  • They propose the re-appointment of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the Commission, and designate António Costa and Kaja Kallas for key positions.
  • The agreement respects the ballot box verdict, the geopolitical reality of the EU, and gender balances.
  • The agreement has been made without negotiating with far-right currents.
  • The chosen candidates possess promising personal and political qualities.
  • The swift transition between the previous and new EU leadership is of great importance currently.

Conclusion: It's a positive principle agreement that respects the European political reality, avoiding negotiations with the far-right, and proposing candidates with recognized worth. Its endorsement by the Council could avoid a prolonged wear and tear for the Union.
