EU Fraktion Chiefs Reach Agreement on New Commission Amidst Power Struggle
The leaders of EU factions have agreed on a new Commission after a prolonged power struggle marked by significant concessions. Initial hearings concluded without major disputes for most candidates, but three individuals faced intense opposition, necessitating a package deal to finalize appointments. Key issues included the controversial nomination of Raffaele Fitto from the Italian far-right party and Teresa Ribera from Spain, with the final agreement reflecting cooperation among different factions while still indicating concerns over future alliances. The new Commission is set to start work in December.
