IRA resolution: sharp criticism of Manfred Weber

Following the vote on a resolution on competitiveness, representatives of the other political groups have sharply criticized EPP Group leader Manfred Weber. The negotiator for the liberal Renew Group in the European Parliament, Valérie Hayer, described the adoption of the text as a „major defeat“ for Weber. He had tried to inflict a defeat on Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the expense of domestic industry.
