The
European Parliamentarians – MEPs, as they are known – will be discussing soon
the names and portfolios of the next European Commission, as proposed by Ursula
von der Leyen.
We
can expect a deep controversy about one of the proposed portfolios, the one about
"protecting our European way of life".
The
title is misleading and gives room to diverse interpretations. Under it, von
der Leyen is including immigration, security and the new emerging threats, as
well as employment and education. That’s quite a mixed bag. But Ursula von der
Leyen’s main intent is, as stated in her letter of mission to the Commissioner
appointed to head such area of work, to ensure there is a common approach to
these issues, especially to the one related to immigration and the integration.
It will not be an easy job. We will see how it will be approached. The first
indications should be visible during her debate with the MEPs.
