Ursula von der Leyen is a political professional, as she proved once again on Thursday. The old and new Commission President has spent weeks wooing the MEPs, who have now given her a comfortable majority. She has managed to bring together all the concerns, wishes and sensitivities into a mosaic. Unlike in 2019, she relied almost exclusively on the pro-European center groups, including the Greens, for her re-election. Von der Leyen did well to also court the Ecological Party – without their votes, she might have failed.
