The Telegraph: Von der Leyen offers smaller EU states bigger jobs if they nominate women
Ursula von der Leyen is urging EU member states to nominate women for her administration, offering incentives to those willing to swap male candidates. Currently, only six out of 22 nominees are women, raising concerns about achieving her promised gender parity by the upcoming deadline.
Some nations, like Ireland, have resisted Von der Leyen's push, arguing against the necessity of female nominations. Failure to secure a gender-balanced team could undermine her authority and ignite conflicts between the European Commission and national capitals.

Polling suggests the AfD may lead in both states, with local chapters classified as right-wing extremists by state intelligence. This could mark a significant shift in support for the party during high-level elections.
