EPP'S LEAD CANDIDATE, MANFRED WEBER: "We will defend Europe for the people. For us, Christian Democrats, today is a boom day. Now we want to help and plan with Ursula Von der Leyen as the new president of the European Commission"
CO-CHAIR ECR GROUP RAFFAELE FITTO: "You have asked for clarification on the rule of law mechanism. We ask you to, apart from clarifying it from a completely opposite position…If the speech is the same as the one that Timmermans had five years ago, we are in a totally alternative and contrary position and there is no clarity about the rule of law mechanism”
