Von der Leyen II: The European Greens&#8 • Table.Briefings

Terry Reintke und Bas Eickhout feiern in Lyon ihre Wahl zum Spitzen-Duo der europäischen Grünen für die Europawahlen. — The leading duo of the European Greens, Terry Reintke and Bas Eickhout, want to sit at the table during the negotiations after the election.

After the European elections, the Greens want to have a say in the personnel tableau and the substantive guidelines in the new mandate. EPP leader Manfred Weber fears that there is too little common ground. There could be a dispute over these issues.

The Greens want to work together with Christian Democrats, Socialists and Liberals after the European elections. This claim is being made unequivocally by leading politicians of the European Greens in these final weeks before the elections.
