S&D, Renew and Greens accuse EPP lea • Table.Briefings

EPP leader Manfred Weber has won several votes with the help of the far right.

Distrust is growing in the „Von der Leyen coalition“. The pro-European groups in the European Parliament accuse EPP leader Manfred Weber of making common cause with the far right. Even EPP members fear negative consequences for the hearings of the Commissioners-designate.

The mood is bad between EPP Group leader Manfred Weber and the leaders of the S&D, Renew, and Greens. Iratxe García Pérez (S&D), Válerie Hayer (Renew), and Terry Reintke (Greens) resent Weber for repeatedly pushing through decisions against their will with the help of votes from the right and far right. Examples include the European Parliament’s resolution on Venezuela, the timetable for the Commissioners’ hearings and the competences of the committees.
