(7 years ago)As if a political earthquake has been understood in Brussels by the European Parliament's Commission for Industry and Trade to reject French candidate Sylvie Goulard to be commissioner for the internal market. It was presented twice before this Commission, and although it had witnessed great skills to exercise the task, it was not [...]
She had appeared twice before this commission and, although she had witnessed great skills to exercise the task, had not convinced them that she has personal integrity to exercise the commission of commissioner, Koha Ditore writes today.
She had failed to convince her how she had to resign from the post of minister in France after investigations are being made to her, meanwhile, may be the EU commissioner. The two largest political groupings -- the European People's Party ( EPP) and the Social Democrats (S&D) -- have seen this as a double standard, and by a large margin of votes have dropped it.
After the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, himself was behind her, and the European Commission's elected president, Ursula von der Leyeen, for both of them was a heavy fist. Therefore, diplomats are now awaiting reactions from France and cite the risk of not confirming the entire European Commission.
In fact, Parliament can only confirm the entire Commission as a team of 27 commissioners, not only partially. The Liberals, part of which are Goulard and President Macron, have called this decision a “decision motivated by narrow political interests”, while in Brussels more and more talk about revenge on the part of conservatives led by Manfred Weber, as Macron had the main role of preventing Weber's choice of European Commission president even though he was “Candidate Hospital” (direct candidate) EPP winner in European elections.
