Will European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen be on the ballot paper for the upcoming European elections?

The simple answer is no!

The European Union consists of not just one but seven institutions. Yet, during EP elections, we only vote for one of them – the European Parliament 🏛️🇪🇺

Are the upcoming European Parliament elections (6-9 June) genuinely European? 🤔

I argue they are not — for various reasons (different political campaigns, political cultures, framings, diverse national rules, and languages).

Please watch my explanation below 👇

In another twist, Charles Michel decided to pull out of the European Parliament elections race in 2024. This is good news for the stability of the EU Council, as he will complete his mandate until November 2024. The risk of Orbán Viktor becoming acting Charles Michel is off the table

Today, the European Central Bank decided to leave the € interest rate at a stunning 4% to tame inflation in the Eurozone. Two weeks ago, Philip Lane, Member of the Executive Board, explained the central bank’s policy direction at the Annual REBUILD Centre Conference. It was a fascinating talk!
