The European Parliament faces a political impasse in the hearings for new Eurocommissioners, threatening the start of the new European Commission. Political groups are currently refusing to approve each other’s key candidates amid power struggles, particularly involving Italian nominee Raffaele Fitto from the far-right party Fratelli d’Italia. The situation raises concerns about the future direction of the EU’s policy, especially in climate issues, with the social democrats blocking Fitto’s nomination and the Christian democrats retaliating by blocking their top candidate. A resolution is urgently needed to avoid delays in addressing pressing issues.
