EU Commissioner for Migration
Italy’s opposition unenthusiastic about Brunner
Italy's opposition shows little enthusiasm for the new EU Commission presented on Tuesday. Austria's Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) has also been criticized.
Opposition leader Elly Schlein commented on Brunner's appointment as the new EU Commissioner for Migration and Home Affairs: "We will continue to insist on solidarity and the reception of migrants among EU countries." In her eyes, the new team of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is "more conservative than the previous one".
"Will examine commissioners carefully"
"Now we will carefully scrutinize the EU Commissioners and their portfolios. One of the shortcomings is that there is no longer a special labor commissioner. And Italy is losing the economic portfolio. We will have to fight hard to defend the prospect of joint European investment," Schlein told La Stampa newspaper.
"We will throw all our weight behind the hearings to ensure that the priorities of the next EU Commission correspond to those set out by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen," the Italian politician emphasized.
