The Commission chief post will be put up for grabs after the EU elections. Who might be the other options to Ursula von der Leyen?<\/p>\n<p>A re-appointment of Ursula von der Leyen at the helm of the EU executive seemed a matter of course, but her leadership of the EU executive has lost its lustre in the wake of the withdrawal from office of her pick for SME envoy, Markus Pieper, and following some wobbles over her response to the crisis in the Middle East. The possibility that she mightn&#8217;t now get the nod of both EU leaders and incoming MEPs this summer has become a more realistic prospect. Her main selling point has always been continuity with the current Commission, but also the lack of actual competitors for her post.<\/p>\n<p>Alternative names are now doing the rounds, however \u2013 at least in Brussels \u2013 although other candidates won\u2019t formally throw their hat in the ring before the elections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mario Draghi served as the prime minister of Italy from February 2021 to October 2022 and as European Central Bank governor between 2011 and 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Bulgarian economist Kristalina Georgieva heads the International Monetary Fund, where she&#8217;s just been reappointed for another 5-year term.<\/li>\n<li>Croatian PM Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 waits with bathed breath the results of national elections scheduled this week.<\/li>\n<li>Maltese Roberta Metsola was elected president of the European Parliament in January 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Kyriakos Mitsotakis earned a resounding electoral win last June being re-elected as Greece&#8217;s PM.<br \/>\nChristine Lagarde, the Banker<\/li>\n<li>Klaus Iohannis see his future in Brussels as he is also running for NATO Secretary General post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/04\/18\/if-not-ursula-then-who-seven-in-the-wings-for-commission-top-job\">Read more &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/04\/18\/if-not-ursula-then-who-seven-in-the-wings-for-commission-top-job\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/eu-policy-if-not-ursula-then-who-seven-in-the-wings-for-commission-top-job\/\">EU Policy: If not Ursula, then who?
