Pieter Omtzigt, leader of the Dutch New Social Contract (NSC) party, is calling on Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to take a stand on new EU debt during the European election campaign. They are „very concerned“ that the report by former ECB President Mario Draghi on the competitiveness of the EU will not be published until after the elections in June, Omtzigt and NSC lead candidate Dirk Gotink write in a letter to von der Leyen. „This will avoid a real debate during the election campaign“, says the letter, which is available to Table.Briefings.
