  • Ursula von der Leyen receives broad support to preside over the European Union Commission for another five years.
  • The backing comes mainly from Social Democrats, conservatives, liberals and greens.
  • Von der Leyen's re-election guarantees the acceleration of the green agenda and a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040.
  • Von der Leyen offers decided support to the Ukrainian Government against the Russian invasion, and is committed to strengthening the European military industry.
  • She commits to appointing a commissioner for the Mediterranean to help regulate immigration.
  • The Commission President will include housing policies on her agenda, considering the urban shortage in member states.

Conclusion: Von der Leyen has enough support to face the challenges of the next five years, including the complex situation in Ukraine and the need to transform the energy model without harming the current European industry.
