    Political pact on Commission marks dangerous willingness to normalise far-right

    The remaining Commissioner-designates have been approved by the relevant committee coordinators in the European Parliament. It is striking that the document negotiated by the three political groups does not only have no new elements for the political agenda, but utterly fails to draw a red line on cooperation with the far-right.

    EPP Group pandering to far-right jeopardises new Commission

    The EPP’s irresponsible and short sighted political games are jeopardising the democratic alliance of this house. Through their desperation to form unscrupulous alliances with the far-right, the EPP is undermining the democratic process of evaluating the skills of candidate Commissioners.
