Globalist and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is demanding gender equity from nations selecting their candidates for coveted positions within the European Union’s executive branch. However, member states are largely ignoring von der Leyen’s request.
Each European Union (EU) member state is granted one candidate for a role at the Commission, but to achieve gender parity, Von Der Leyen is asking states to submit both a man and a woman for consideration. Despite the pressure from the EU president, though, many member states have ignored the request, with only six women being nominated so far alongside sixteen men.

Denmark and Italy are also expected to nominate men in the coming days, making the Commission’s composition two-thirds men, a higher rate than when Von der Leyen first became Commission president in 2019. Meanwhile, Thierry Breton of France is among those already selected for Commission positions. He recently threatened Elon Musk, demanding he pre-censor his interview on X with former President Donald J. Trump.
Breton has been outspoken in his desire to censor social media in the name of combatting hate speech online.
Estonia’s selection, former prime minister Kaja Kallas, is a well-known anti-Russia hawk and has previously called for Russia to be broken up into smaller states and has supported increasing NATO involvement in the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The European Union Commission and its thousands of bureaucrats are the most powerful arm of the European Union. They can propose new laws, allocate European funding to member states, represent the bloc internationally, and enforce EU laws.
DEEPLY UNPOPULAR COMMISSION.
President Von der Leyen was only recently re-elected by the European Parliament’s center-left, center-right, and liberal factions, although she was the only candidate in the vote.
While several left-wing female European politicians have slammed the idea of a male-dominated Commission—such as Germany’s Europe Minister Anna Lührmann—the broader implications could indicate countries have less confidence in President Von der Leyen and pay less heed to her demands.
Polls released earlier this year suggest that Von der Leyen and the Commission are not popular with the general public. Only 18 percent view her and the Commission positively in certain member states like France. Overall, just 36 percent of the general European public have a positive view of the Commission and its president, and only three member states, Denmark, Portugal, and Spain, had a majority positive view.
