On Wednesday, Socialists and Greens will choose their respective candidates for the vacant post of Vice-President in the European Parliament. The background is the corruption scandal surrounding Greek MEP Eva Kaili, who belonged to the S&D group and previously held the position. The candidates stand for election in the group meetings. There are eight candidates in the S&D Group so far: Marc Angel from Luxembourg, Raphael Glucksmann from France, Miapetra Kumpula-Natri from Finland, Costas Mavrides from Cyprus, Victor Negrescu from Romania, Matjas Nemec from Slovenia, Juozas Olekas from Lithuania and Elena Yoncheva from Bulgaria.
