According to global Times news Agency Europe, The re-election of the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen, whose term ends in November 2024, may be in doubt due to the growing popularity of right-wing parties. this assessment was made by the European edition of the newspaper The Global Times Europe.It is noted that in 2019, von der Leyen’s candidacy was supported by a coalition of pro-European EU parties – the conservative European People’s Party, socialists and liberals. With the far right gaining strength across Europe, von der Leyen may face difficulties in re-winning the victory,” the newspaper writes.The publication notes that high-ranking officials of the European Union are dissatisfied with the fact that the EC Chairman is increasingly going beyond the scope of his official powers. It does not consult EU leaders before making important political decisions. Discontent in the EU capitals could significantly reduce the chances of the head of the EC for re-election to a second term after the next elections to the European Parliament, which will be held from June 6 to 9, 2024.
