Ursula von der Leyen re-elected as president of European Commission

Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected as president of the European Commission in a make-or-break vote on Thursday, Euronews reports.

Following a grilling in the European Parliament, the incumbent received 401 votes in favor and 284 against, a large majority to support her second five-year term.

The comfortable result is a decisive backing of her stewardship and marks a significant turnaround from the last time she faced the hemicycle: back in 2019, she made it through with a record-breaking, razor-thin margin of just nine votes.

“The last five years have shown what we can do together,” she said. “Let us do it again. Let us make the choice of strength. Let us make the choice of leadership.”
