Europese Politiek?

Op het gevaar af voor sexist te worden versleten, maar waar gaat dit over? Is er niets interessanters te melden over de Europese politiek? 

‘Dream team’: How all the EU’s top jobs could be held by women

It’s possible that the senior roles at the European Commission, Council, Parliament and foreign service could all be held by women after June’s EU election.

There’s a scenario in which the presidents of the EU’s main institutions could all be women. 

After the EU election in June, the top jobs at the European Council, the Commission and the Parliament — plus the head of the European External Action Service — will be distributed among the main political groups.

Speculating on who will get those jobs is a leading pastime in the Brussels bubble (as well as here at POLITICO); so many female politicians are being linked with those roles that some diplomats are starting to connect them.

POLITICO is hearing a lot of talk about four names — all women — in connection with the jobs: Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen staying on as Commission chief; Malta’s Roberta Metsola remaining in post at the Parliament; Mette Frederiksen, the current prime minister of Denmark, becoming president of the European Council; and Kaja Kallas, the Estonian PM, taking over as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (the EU’s foreign policy chief, for short). 

“It’s my dream team,” said a diplomat who was granted anonymity to speak freely. “It would send such a strong message.”
