Ursula von der Leyen, the current President of the European Commission, is making a strong push for re-election in Strasbourg.

In recent meetings with conservative groups, she emphasized a 'just' and 'technologically open' green transition, showcasing her pragmatic approach to the Green Deal.

Von der Leyen faces scrutiny from various political factions, including Italy's Fratelli d'Italia party, which is awaiting direction from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

In her final appeals, von der Leyen warned of potential chaos if she fails to secure a majority, urging support from her coalition of EPP, S&D, and Renew Europe groups.

Her re-election bid hinges on balancing environmental ambitions with political pragmatism.
