    • Abstract:
      European Union leaders have nominated Ursula von der Leyen for a second term as president of the bloc's executive arm. The nomination still needs to be confirmed by the European Parliament, where von der Leyen may face challenges in winning a majority of votes. The decision on top jobs comes after EU leaders fell short of a deal last week, and there is still ill will in the chamber over the manner of von der Leyen's last appointment. The leaders aimed to achieve a geographical and gender balance in the distribution of the EU's top jobs. [Extracted from the article]
