Strasbourg special: EU Parliament’s most burning vote of the year

from Today in the EU · host Euractiv

After weeks of political manoeuvring and backroom deals, MEPs are set to vote today (27 November) on Von der Leyen's next College of Commissioners. While the EP’s greenlight seems certain after EPP, Renew, and S&D struck a platform agreement last week, the incoming College might be sworn in with the narrowest support in recent history. So, where do the different political groups stand? And what effect will the vote have on Parliament's future powerplays? In this episode, host Giada Santana and politics reporters Nicoletta Ionta and Magnus Lund Nielsen talk numbers, alliances and behind-the-scenes buzz from Strasbourg's corridors.
