He was supposed to become the head of the commission but von der Leyen took over.
In September 2018, Weber declared his intention to run for the position of President of the European Commission and was elected as the Spitzenkandidat of the EPP in November. On 26 May 2019 Weber’s European People’s Party won the most seats in the European Parliament, thus making Weber the lead candidate to become the next President of the European Commission. It was announced on 28 May that the new European Commission President would be picked at an EU summit in June; Weber was not nominated, with Ursula von der Leyen selected instead.
This is so wild. Bios from conservatives like him always read like this is at least a mostly evil person. It baffles me, who people like him or von der Leyen can come to power. That says much about us as a species.
The thing is that he is not that powerful because he had to make way for von der Leyen.
We are not talking about him because he just fulfills his role. But we also don’t talk about who is setting the agenda for his role. That makes me worried about us as a species, and many more.
Destroying the ecological systems and the weather patterns is madness. If there is a net benefit to it we should know in a democracy.
Am german, never heard of this motherefucker.

He’s a CSU politician and the EVP group chairman in the European parliamanet. Sadly he is, what the headline describes as ‘powerful’.
