04/07/2023 (Agence Europe) – The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says that ‘families’ at the centre of the political spectrum are best placed to meet the challenges of the future and provide prosperity and security for their citizens, following a meeting on Monday 3 July in Madrid, between the College of Commissioners and the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union (see EUROPE 13214/1). “If we look at the extremists, whether on the left or the right, they are looking behind. We, at the centre of the political spectrum, must show that we have a clear idea of how to approach change, that we have an ideal, a vision”, she said. (MB/CG)
