The deadline for EU countries to nominate their next European Commissioner is looming, with only one day left for submissions. As of now, countries like Italy, Belgium, and Bulgaria have not yet put forward names. Additionally, no member state has met President Ursula von der Leyen’s requirement to nominate both a male and female candidate. The difficulty in making these nominations has raised questions about the delay.
Radio Schuman recently discussed the situation in Italy with Euronews journalist Filippo Menci, shedding light on the challenges faced by some countries in submitting their candidates. Meanwhile, visits by leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron in Serbia and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Mauritania have also drawn attention in Brussels.
On a different note, a ban on certain souvenirs has been implemented in Sicily, adding a touch of intrigue to the news. Radio Schuman, hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, provides further insights with journalist Eleonora Vasques and audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron. The music is composed by Alexandre Jas.
The impending deadline for EU Commissioner nominations, along with the delay and challenges faced by certain countries, has sparked interest and discussion among political circles. As the clock ticks down, it remains to be seen how countries will navigate and meet the requirements set by the European Commission.
