STVR | Composition of the new European Commission

Ursula von der Leyen had to put the Commission together in such a way as to distribute the portfolios fairly among the member states. She had to take into account geography, for example, so that strong portfolios were not only in Western Europe, she had to take into account the size of the states and, last but not least, the political tensions within the European institutions.

In my opinion, she put it together very solidly. The composition is responsive to what the Commission needs to respond to and to what lies ahead in the following years.
