  • Ursula Von der Leyen has been reelected as President of the European Commission for a second five-year term.
  • The new government is characterized by a right-shift compared to the previous one.
  • The priority areas of the new government are competition, security, and the climate crisis.
  • Among the 26 commissioners, 40% will be women, including four of the six executive vice-presidencies.
  • The appointment of Spanish Teresa Ribera as vice president of Clean, Fair and Competitive Transition, and Competition Commissioner.
  • The composition of the new executive is mostly right-wing, with fourteen members of the European People's Party.
  • A different situation is faced compared to five years ago, with challenges such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, competition with the United States and China, and the fight against the climate crisis.

Conclusion: The result is a more conservative European government, whose performance and ability to face its agenda and challenges still remain uncertain.
