| Description | MADRID — European liberals will present a slate of candidates for top EU jobs in a move designed to push back against the Spitzenkandidat system for picking the European Commission president, and please French President Emmanuel Macron.
The announcement was made on Friday by Hans van Baalen, the president of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) party, at a congress in Madrid.
“We decided that we will not nominate a man of a certain age,” van Baalen told party members. “We are going to have a campaign about ideas,” he declared, “not the jobs we can take ourselves.” |
