Shock in Brussels: Dispreduced by the Leyen's controversial personnel decisions!

The appointment of Philippe Lamberts, the former Greens parliamentary group leader, as a consultant of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, ensures violent discussions. In this context, Harald Vilimsky, the Freedom Delegation Manager in the European Parliament, criticized the supposed left turn of the European People's Party (EVP). According to Vilimsky, this personnel decision shows that the EPP under von der Leyen's leadership will collect cooperation with the Greens. He states that while citizens and companies in Europe are confronted with increasing transparency regulations, the Commission would also be secreted on high -ranking items. "This double morality is not just a farce, but a broken game on the back of the citizens," said Vilimsky, like ots.at reported.

In addition, by the Leyen, the appointment of the CDU politician Markus Pieper as EU representative for small and medium-sized companies is criticized after a majority of MPs in the European Parliament have requested to withdraw this decision. The MPs expressed concerns about compliance with criteria such as performance and gender equality. The application, which was accepted with 382 votes, suggests that Piepers may be based on political rope teams, since other applicants had been better assessed. Nevertheless, a spokesman for von der Leyen said that all rules were observed in the selection process, according to the reporting of

The political landscape within the EU will continue to worsen in the coming weeks, especially with the upcoming discussions on competitiveness, in which the Leyen is again challenged, to create clear and transparent guidelines in the selection process. Meanwhile, Federal Minister of Finance Christian Lindner warns that the Commission had not undertaken enough for the economic strengthening of Europe, which underlines the urgency of this topic.
