Ursula vn der Leyen

Viktor Daňek, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the no-confidence vote in the European Commission for the daily Právo.

The vote of no confidence in Ursula von der Leyen and her European Commission was commented on for ČT Studio 6 by Filip Křenek, an analyst at the Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM.

Ursula von der Leyen is to continue as head of the European Commission and Kaja Kallas, the Estonian prime minister, will lead diplomacy. Both politicians have yet to be confirmed by MEPs. The leadership of the European Council, on the other hand, is already assured by former Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa. Žiga Faktor, deputy director and head of EUROPEUM Institute's Brussels office, offers his perspective.
