The appointment of Charles Michel\u2019s successor will be less a matter of names as which of four key configurations arise following this week&#8217;s election. The contest for leadership of European Council &#8211; the prize of steering EU leaders through the next five-year mandate &#8211; entails peculiarities making it notoriously difficult to predict.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering of EU heads of state and government is an elite club and those wishing to chair it should\u2019ve attended it previously \u2013 so serving as political head of state is one condition for appointment. But it also acts as a key post for maintaining balance across the appointments of top EU jobs, and offers a counter-weight to the choice of Commission president. Different post-election scenarios are likely to determine who will take the helm of the European Council, rather than lists of likely names. Here are four potential post-election screenplays.<\/p>\n<p>If everything goes smoothly for Ursula von der Leyen\u2019s re-appointment as Commission chief, the European Council presidency slot is bound to go to the socialists. If this scenario materialises, the money is on Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Portugal\u2019s former head of Portugal\u2019s government Ant\u00f3nio Costa for the Council chair. Public opinion in Denmark takes Frederiksen\u2019s appointment almost for granted while Portuguese consider Costa the country&#8217;s best chance of an EU top job since Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso left the Commission ten years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Costa starts slightly behind after a sudden investigation into a corruption scandal \u2013 from which he\u2019s been cleared \u2013 led to his resignation last year, but his stock remains high with other EU leaders. On the other hand, Frederiksen will be playing her cards from inside the casino.Spain\u2019s Pedro Sanchez was also considered a candidate when on the verge of resigning from office a few weeks ago but his domestic situation has since significantly improved, although his name is still doing the rounds in Brussels. The plot twist \u2013 any \u2018The Usual Suspects\u2019 scenario needs one \u2013 could be former Finnish prime minister <strong>Sanna Marin<\/strong>, a socialist dark horse among EU leaders.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/06\/04\/four-scenarios-to-determine-european-council-leadership\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/Four scenarios to determine European Council leadership\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/four-scenarios-to-determine-european-council-leadership\/\">Four scenarios to determine European Council leadership<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14790],"class_list":["post-131120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-european-council-leadership"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131120\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
