“Ursula von der Leyen Nominated for Second Term as European Commission Head; Estonia’s Kaja Kallas Named EU Foreign Policy Chief”
Ursula von der Leyen has been nominated for a second term as the head of the European Commission, while Estonia’s Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, has been appointed as the new foreign policy chief. This decision came after European Union leaders reached a late-night agreement on the institution’s top positions.
Despite resistance from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the agreement also saw former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa named as the head of the European Council. This reshuffling of top EU roles aims to strengthen the union’s leadership and address ongoing challenges.
