EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reportedly chosen key leadership roles for the upcoming Commission. Notably, Italy's Giorgia Meloni proposed Raffaele Fitto as Executive Vice President for Economy and COVID-19 recovery, alongside four other vice presidents including Kaja Kallas, Valdis Dombrovskis, Teresa Ribera Rodríguez, and Thierry Breton.
The current structure of ordinary vice presidents in the Commission is set to be eliminated. New Commissioner picks also include Josef Sikela as the Energy Commissioner.
The selections will face confirmation hearings in the EU Parliament following von der Leyen's reelection. Emphasizing merit and expertise, the appointments aim to form a competent and diverse Commission, steering clear of political patronage that could undermine EU values.
