Ursula von der Leyen Delivers Message on World Health Assembly Amid EU Election Tensions
In a compelling speech at the 77th World Health Assembly (#WHA77), European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the importance of building robust and well-functioning health systems worldwide. She highlighted that only through global cooperation can we achieve better health and well-being for all people and create a safer, healthier world for future generations.
This message comes as von der Leyen faces a crucial upcoming EU election, where 373 million eligible voters across 27 countries will head to the polls between June 6 and 9 to elect the next European Parliament. The newly elected 720 lawmakers will play a significant role in shaping EU policies and approving the next European Commission, including the President.
Von der Leyen, seeking a second term, is currently navigating a complex political landscape. Polls indicate a potential shift to the right in the European Parliament, which could impact her chances of reappointment. Her center-right European People’s Party (EPP) may need to collaborate with other political groups, including the far-right European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), to secure a majority.
The election’s outcome will influence key EU policies on climate, security, and migration. Von der Leyen's rivals, like Nicolas Schmit from the Socialist camp, are advocating for workers' rights and criticizing her openness to far-right collaborations. Meanwhile, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has been actively campaigning to encourage voter turnout.
