Merkel on Monday urged European Union leaders to agree fast on a nominee. “We want to find a solution as soon as possible given that the European Parliament will convene at the start of June and it is naturally desirable if by that time we have a proposal from the European Council,” she told a news conference.
Macron also wants an agreement reached quickly on a nominee, “ideally” in June, though he also said the “Spitzenkandidat” system should not be automatic, an official from Macron’s office said on Monday.Macron is confident a majority of member states can agree on opening a discussion on the nomination of the next Commission’s president, the source said.
