[@tomorrowneverdies567]

​@@eddastrohmayer251 if you look into how von der Leyen became president of the EU, you will see that she was obviously not appointed by Joe Biden, and that she was proposed by the heads of government of EU members, and then approved by the majority of the EU parliament, who were also voted by EU voters. Please stop wasting other people's time. I am greek, and I could start saying things like: greek politicians destruction of greek industries with high indebtment, taxation, bad subsidy policies, bad wages increases that did not follow productivity, etc. were made deliberately by our politicians so that all of manufacturing in Greece could move to countries such as Germany. And that therefore greek governments are appointed by Germany. Evidence? Their actions.

Do the EU citizens get to cast their vote for the "Chief"?

[@AlexandruVoda]

Yes, by proxy. The EU Commision is still democratic even if members are not elected directly. People vote for the president/PM/equivalent in their own country and then that elected representative votes for the president of the Commission. The EU is not a Federation, it is a Confederation therefore power is with the states themselves. If you want direct elections for the commission then you likely want United States of Europe to be thing and so far that is not something most people want. So stop spreading FUD and learn how the democracy of the EU actually works.

[@hholton7245]

Listening to the article the election process sounds very bureaucratic - however it does confer that she is the preferred candidate for President. Looks like Von Der Leyen will continue to be the most powerful women in the world? @@AlexandruVoda
