While Ursula von der Leyen seeks support from MEPs in her bid for a second term as European Commission president, her European People\u2019s Party does not plan to broaden a three-way centrist alliance with the Socialists &amp; Democrats and liberal Renew group, but one way or another she might need the support of the Greens or the hard right. A senior source within the EPP told Euronews the Greens group would not be invited to join. \u201cThere won&#8217;t be any formal inclusion of the Greens in the platform,\u201d the source said, adding: \u201cIt will not happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was reinforced by a spokesperson for the centre-right group. \u201cWe have a coalition with Renew and the Social Democrats, it is then up to von der Leyen to negotiate support outside that,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cIf she wants to negotiate with the Greens, or the ECR, that\u2019s her business, not ours,\u201d he added. But the word \u201ccoalition\u201d is perhaps a little strong for the nature of the cooperation between the three largest groups in the parliament, even if it is often bandied around. A historical grand coalition between the S&amp;D and EPP died in 2019 when a surge of support for the Greens and liberals, and Eurosceptic populists, saw their relative power diminish.<\/p>\n<p>When von der Leyen reached out to the S&amp;D and Renew immediately after it became clear the EPP had come top in the EU elections on 9 June, she spoke not of a coalition but a successful \u201cplatform\u201d that had operated over the past five years. \u201cThis platform has worked well, it was reliable, it was constructive, it was effective,\u201d von der Leyen said. Whether described as a coalition or platform, however, it boils down to horse trading over the political priorities von der Leyen will have to set out ahead of her confirmatory vote in the European Parliament later this month.<\/p>\n<p>The co-presidents of the Greens, Bas Eickhout and Terry Reintke, met her on Monday, and subsequently said they had made it clear that they would withhold support if she cuts any kind of deal with the far-right. The Greens have been pushing since their first meeting days after the election the idea that the Commission president cannot rely solely on support from the big three centrist parties to be sure of a second term. It is no secret that the figurehead of the European Green Deal is far from flavour of the month even for some factions within her own political group \u2013 and the confirmatory vote to be held in a plenary session from 16-19 July will be a secret ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen met the heads of political groups in the European Parliament at a so-called conference of the presidents on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Eickhout warned that the Commission president could also lose support from the S&amp;D if she makes overtures to the right-wing ECR group, or even the 24 members from Giorgia Meloni\u2019s Brothers of Italy party within it.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if von der Leyen did not equally risk losing support in her own party if she accommodates some of the Greens\u2019 concerns in her policy plan, the Dutch lawmaker said he saw \u201cissues where we can come together\u201d. \u201cWe all have a concern about the future of European industry and the Greens and EPP, let&#8217;s see how far we can get together \u2013 we might surprise you,\u201d Eickhout said.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/07\/03\/von-der-leyens-re-election-dilemma-look-right-or-turn-green\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/07\/03\/von-der-leyens-re-election-dilemma-look-right-or-turn-green\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/136470\/\">Von der Leyen\u2019s re-election dilemma: Look right or turn green?<\/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":[555,970,1326,15151],"class_list":["post-132162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-green","tag-right","tag-von-der-leyens"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132162","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=132162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132162\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
