“Europe deserves better,” Patriots for Europe’s Kinga Gal commented.
The EPP greenlit a Spanish socialist in exchange for an Italian conservative, even though Teresa Ribera said she won’t step down if prosecuted for mismanaging floods in Spain.
Teresa Ribera’s actions during Valencia’s recent deadly floods have sparked outrage.

“The European Commission cannot be the hiding place of a minister who owes a lot of explanations to the people,” the PP leader said, referring to Teresa Ribera’s mismanagement of the recent deadly floods in Spain.
Talks between the EU Parliament’s two largest parties broke down, with the S&D set to reject both Italy’s Raffaele Fitto and Hungary’s Olivér Várhelyi.
Ribera has aligned herself with a radical far-left agenda, just the opposite of what the elections showed people want.
The five executive vice presidents and the foreign affairs chief will be questioned by MEPs last, after every other commissioner candidate has been approved or rejected.
As expected, the Patriots–the Parliament’s third largest party group—was completely passed over.
