Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission

EPP Group Chairman Manfred Weber considers Ursula von der Leyen's election as President of the European Commission to be a victory for democracy and a united Europe.

"Europeans want a democratic Europe, not a radical one. With the election of Ursula von der Leyen, we are strengthening a democratic Europe," said Weber.

"Today's vote was also a vote for clear priorities: prosperity, security, and stopping migration. The next Commission will embody the EPP spirit," Weber stressed.
