Tenth European Parliament: Difference between revisions
As she has been relected President of the European Comission, the von den Leyen Commission will continue after that date. As per the model of the wikipedia page for the 8th parliament, I have decided not to put up a source (www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw5yg6dp0gxo) for this, as well as not to make any distinction between her 2 Comissions (IE First/Second von den Leyen Comissions) Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit |
