Macrons förslag till EU-kommissionär nedröstad
EU-parlamentet har röstat nej till att godkänna Frankrikes tilltänkta EU-kommissionär Sylvie Goulard, skriver TT.
– Det är ett stort nederlag för Macron, en knäpp på näsan, säger Ekots Susanne Palme.
Goulard, som föreslagits till att bli ansvarig för den inre marknaden, röstades ner med siffrorna 82–29. Ett av skälen till skepsisen mot Goulard är att hon under sin tid som EU-parlamentariker anklagats för att ha fifflat med EU-pengar.
