What are their policies and what does it mean for the voters? Gender does not matter. The world will not be a better place just because it’s ran by female bureaucrats as opposed to male ones. Thede kinds of articles are judt a cheap way for institutions amd media to appear feminist while actualy ignoring all the issues women face in society.
The nature of these posts is that by default the 4 posts are filled by reps from the 4 largest parties in the EP.
So there’s a conservative, a. Social democrat, a liberal etc.
You’d think women would have a higher chance to solve those issues women face that you mention, if only because they actually suffer them.
Also you can’t say for sure the world wouldn’t be a better place if it were ran by women, we never tried ;)
As already proven by decades of attempts, women bourgeois bureocrats suffer very little of most pressing issues of majority of women.
Men sent other men to die for thousands of years. Powerful men saw no comradery with those who they aaw as inferior.
Same with women.
Von der leyen is a slave owner ghoul
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Speculating on who will get those jobs is a leading pastime in the Brussels bubble (as well as here at POLITICO); so many female politicians are being linked with those roles that some diplomats are starting to connect them.
POLITICO is hearing a lot of talk about four names — all women — in connection with the jobs: Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen staying on as Commission chief; Malta’s Roberta Metsola remaining in post at the Parliament; Mette Frederiksen, the current prime minister of Denmark, becoming president of the European Council; and Kaja Kallas, the Estonian PM, taking over as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (the EU’s foreign policy chief, for short).
Of course, no decisions have been taken; there are often surprises when the jobs are given out (von der Leyen wasn’t on many people’s radars last time around); and many names of male candidates continue to be floated.
But there’s a lot about this combination that could make sense — in a scenario where EU leaders, the majority of them men, decided to go for an all-women option — including the division between the political groups.
The European Council president job, however, has had three holders — all men (Belgium’s Herman Van Rompuy and Charles Michel, with Poland’s Donald Tusk sandwiched in between).
Some male officials seem a little rattled at the prospect of women taking all the top jobs, with one joking about being reduced to cleaning toilets and another saying he hoped to at least be allowed to serve the coffee.
