Luxembourg picks national-oriented MEP as Commissioner

Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Luc Frieden chose centre-right MEP Christophe Hansen as commissioner over the EU Socialists’ main candidate for the European Commission presidency, Nicolas Schmit.

The incumbent Jobs and Social Rights Commissioner would have to step down and hand over the post to Christophe Hansen, the Prime Minister announced on Thursday, 22 August, despite the EU’s demand for a female candidate.

Hansen, a senior centre-right politician from Luxembourg, was the leading candidate of the Christian Social People’s Party in June’s European elections. Throughout his parliamentary career, he has mainly focused on trade issues. He was elected to the European Parliament three times, where he was a spokesman on the Brexit trade agreement and deforestation.

Like all commissioner appointees, he needs to obtain a portfolio and undergo a hearing before the European Parliament in the autumn to be officially appointed as a Luxembourg member of the commissioners’ panel.

The appointment dealt a major blow to the Socialists as Nicolas Schmit, an experienced European Commissioner and the main candidate for the Commission presidency in the European elections, had convincing arguments in favour of his reappointment.

In the spring, Schmit argued that the EPP should give an additional commissioner post to the Socialists. German SPD member of the European Parliament René Repasi said that Luxembourg should have followed the Dutch lead in 2019. The EU socialists’ Spitzenkandidat Frans Timmermans suffered defeat in the EU elections, but was still nominated as commissioner by the then Liberal-led Dutch government.

my favorite part of being in a queer coded movie fandom is that there’s always that one actor or someone tied to the film that ships the characters as much as the fans do and I love them for it

Pentagon Pursuit | Part 39 | First Taste Of European Champions League

#FM24 #PentagonPursuit Part 39: First Taste Of European #ChampionsLeague. Robaato Rasamu begins the final leg of his #PentagonChallenge adventure in Europe. And he discovers exactly why #FCBayern are still so dominant in German football. Read here:

After one season in Germany, Robaato Rasamu had worked his magic to inspire VfB Stuttgart to their highest league position in 34 years and European Champions League qualification. So it was feasible – unlikely – but feasible that he could wrap up this Pentagon Pursuit inside 19 years of management. Not one to get too carried away, Rasamu was more focused on strengthening Stuttgart in key areas…

This alternative American electronica might be a bit of a misnomer for what the players are. I mean, the phrase causes us to ask ourselves – what are they alternative to? The term becomes nebulous, though I might have to explains myself more in the case of Christopher Willits. He doesn't appear to be courting mainstream, yet I wouldn't be shocked the latter embraced him at a certain point. His electronica does move within the fields of Taylor Deupree and Ryuichi Sakamoto – Willits even collaborated with him –, but I would claim he doesn't really follow a set of rules, he or less invents them as he plays along. His music has a strangely paradoxical quality, i.e. you can sense a structure without a plan behind the latter.
