Sánchez: Elections do not affect Presidency of the Council

Commission President Ursula von der Leyen sees resolute implementation of her own policies as the best response to the rise of extremists in the EU. The parties of the democratic center must „show that we have a clear idea of how we want to tackle the changes that are taking place“, she said. It is a matter of resolutely tackling challenges such as the war in Ukraine or climate change, while at the same time seizing the opportunities they present.
