Ursula von der Leyen Re-elected as European Commission President
President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, addressed a message of congratulations to Ursula von der Leyen, newly re-elected as President of the European Commission. In this context, the head of state affirmed that Moldova will continue its cooperation with the European Union in all areas.
"In these difficult times, your leadership qualities are vital for a strong Europe. I am confident that we will continue to cooperate. I eagerly look forward to advancing Moldova's objective of joining the EU," wrote Maia Sandu on the social network X.
The European Parliament decided on Thursday to grant a new five-year mandate to Ursula von der Leyen from Germany as President of the European Commission. 401 European deputies voted in favour, 284 against, and 15 abstained.
The deputies of the European Parliament expressed their choice through a secret vote.
Ursula von der Leyen thus became the first woman to obtain two consecutive mandates as head of the European executive, offering continuity to the EU leadership during a period of economic and geostrategic challenges.
