Considering that the EPP might get a full majority with the far right in the next European election I don't think this is good news. For the ones complaining about von der Leyen just look to the rest of EPP, Manfred Webber for starts, everyone looks so much worse... better to keep Ursula.

The world is doomed when Ursula is the best choice, but you are not wrong.

At the commission she did a good job with the vaccines and supporting Ukraine. I actually think she was not a bad president of the commission, considering her background and her predecessors, she was definetely an upgrade. Remember Barroso? Juncker?

If you don't want an EPP president than better to start voting S&D parties now :P but I think it's unavoidable that the next one will also be an EPP person, they control most govs, so better if it's Ursula.

That said, Roberta #Metsola sounds to be available, maybe she wouldn't be a bad option.. if Ursula does go to NATO.
