The main reason why Von der Leyen won is that he corrected his main mistake – to chase for more votes greens and liberals.
This was commented to NOVA by the MEP from the EPP group Andrey Novakov.
„In this way, he let down the right-wing people and his own party. She delivered a speech on job growth, income growth, which won over the core of the EPP. Thus, even the result exceeded our expectations by a little. This is a result that gives it a solid mandate to expand, he explained.
He also comments on what Von der Leyen is proposing.
„There will be, for the first time, a defense commissioner, general public procurement regarding the purchase of defense equipment. The Defense Committee in the EP will become a full-fledged one. I expect to become its member from September, so that Bulgaria will also have representation there. The direction is clear - Europe will move to the right,”, the MEP claims.
