Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected as President of the European Commission, securing support from a broad coalition including the Greens.
The vote took place in Strasbourg, where von der Leyen outlined her vision for the future, including plans for a new 'Recovery Fund' to boost economic growth and the creation of a European army for enhanced defense.
However, Italy's far-right party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, voted against von der Leyen, potentially impacting Italy's role in the Commission.
Von der Leyen will now begin forming her new team, aiming for gender balance and seeking the most qualified candidates who share a commitment to Europe.
