Three and a half months after the last European elections, here is the new EU Commission, whose team was presented to the European Parliament yesterday by the reconfirmed president, Ursula von der Leyen, who in recent days had to first postpone for the Slovenian bloc and then remedy the Breton case, the commissioner indicated by France, with whom relations had been very tense since the previous legislature. Von der Leyen presented an institutional architecture that matches her mandate's primary priorities: "prosperity, security, and democracy". Among the notable names is Italian Raffaele Fitto, who has been appointed Executive Vice-President for Cohesion and Reforms, overseeing cohesion policies, regional development, and cities. Gender equality is a central aspect of the new Commission: von der Leyen emphasized that, following extensive negotiations with member states, 40% of the Commission will be made up of women (11 out of 27 members), a significant improvement over the initial proposal, which called for only 22% women. However, the President emphasized that "there is still a lot of work to be done" in order to achieve a perfect balance. The new Commission contains six executive vice presidents, four of which are women. In addition to Fitto, the vice-presidents will be Teresa Ribera (Spain), who is responsible for the Competitive and Just Transition and Competition Policy; Henna Virkkunen (Finland), who is responsible for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy; Stéphane Séjourné (France), who is responsible for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy; Kaja Kallas (Estonia), who will serve as the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security; and Roxana Mînzatu (Romania), who is responsible for People, Skills, and Preparation.
