The European Parliament has approved Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen’s bid for a second five-year term as president of the European Commission. Von der Leyen garnered 401 votes in the 720-seat chamber, exceeding the majority required to maintain her position as the head of the EU’s executive body. 

In the secret ballot, 284 members voted against her.

Earlier yesterday, von der Leyen addressed the European Parliament, outlining her priorities for the next five years.

She committed to continuing the European Green Deal, a key policy from her first term, which aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. She pledged to reduce emissions by 90 percent by 2040 and announced substantial investments in infrastructure and industry, particularly in energy-intensive sectors.

Von der Leyen also pledged to continue supporting Ukraine.
