An internal leaked memo stating the European People's Party would 'kill' Sylvie Goulard in the vote has stirred up conflict
that Mrs von der Leyen herself had been imposed on them. They would have preferred the next Commission president to be one of their own “lead candidates” who campaigned for the job ahead of the European elections in May. The apparent expectation that they defer to her and Mr Macron’s choice of internal market commissioner prompted the revolt. “Guys, we are going to kill [Goulard] in the vote later but do not say until then,” read an internalmemo accidentally tweeted ahead of the ballot.
Some sympathy is due to both of them. The parliament’s petty squabbles—and the grinding slowness of European initiative to which they contribute—is an indulgence thewent to press leaders were gathering in Brussels to discuss not just the Brexit drama but conflict in the Middle East, the newcarbon emissions targets.
Both Mrs von der Leyen and Mr Macron have, in so many words, welcomed the trend towards a more confident and political European project. But if they are sensible, they will not merely treat that as a licence for technocrats and national leaders to ram through bigger things, faster. Irritating power games in the European Parliament are the manifestation of something important.
