Vestager as EU competition, Goulard as defense, Timmermans on climate. These are the ingredients for a strong EU, and it's good news for the world.

But they are balanced out by von der Leyen who doesn't have the best record from her previous duties...

Meh, she got a pretty thankless job, at an especially thankless moment, and it's hard to judge without having a comparison.

And the decision we're applauding here was her's. So she does seem to be off to a good start.

Her time as minister of defense isn't everything she is being criticized for. she earned the "Zensursula" moniker as minister of family.

Yeah, lets give her the chance to be a good surprise by keeping up stuff like this decision.
