Extraordinary moment in France. Parliament has just voted down Michel Barnier’s government, thanks to the left and Le Pen’s far right voting together. It’s the first time parliament has overthrown a 🇫🇷 government since 1962

Important takeaway from von der Leyen's speech this morning: Várhelyi will be still leading the Critical Medicines Act, one of the most important pieces of legislation in the next term. Cooperation with Hadja Lahbib will be still needed as she'll be fully in charge of DG HERA

🚨 Just in: Manfred Weber (EPP), Iratxe García (S&D) and Valerie Hayer (Renew) have reached a deal to unblock the nominations of Teresa Rivera, Raffaele Fitto and Olivér Várhelyi.

The three leaders also commit to a pact on a pro-European coalition for the legislature.

The United States and Britain have not authorized Kyiv to use long-range missiles on targets inside Russia, fearing escalation, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, hinting he hoped to convince Joe Biden to change his mind https://t.co/SHsfQ2Dp0H

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Every member of my team will bring in their own experience and perspectives on Europe.  

Together, we will be one team, working towards one common goal.

To make Europe stronger.

The Draghi report contains one of the most spot-on critiques for the current state of EU industrial policy I have read so far.

And it comes with some solid ideas on how to move forward. Here are the three main takeaways.

🚨 BREAKING: Former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi has said the EU must spend twice as much as it did after WWII.

Read his full report here: https://t.co/16RXY893Ov

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Dear Mario Draghi, a year ago, I asked you to prepare a report on the future of Europe’s competitiveness.

No one was better placed than you to take up this challenge.

Now, we are eager to listen to your views ↓

The EU Parliament is currently planning to conduct the EU Commissioners hearings between the 14th and the 18th of October, according to an internal document. But the timeline is very tight, and could thus be amended soon

Good decision for stability and continuity at a time of great instability in the world.

She made a lot of promises in her Political Guidelines to the @Europarl_EN political groups, lots of work to do.

@vonderleyen with a bigger win than 5 years ago - probably due to official support from the Greens.

Now time for her to build the new European Commission.
