Strack-Zimmermann, who hails from the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), is part of a three-candidate team representing the liberal forces in the bloc-wide poll between 6 and 9 June. Currently a member of the Bundestag, where she chairs the Defence Committee, she is vying for a seat in the European Parliament. In a wide-ranging interview with Euronews, the contender denounced the policies of Ursula von der Leyen, the sitting president of the European Commission, in the fields of defence, economy and fundamental rights. Von der Leyen is running for a second mandate and is wid...

Hayer, who leads the Renew Europe group and has been fielded as one of its three lead election candidates, told Euronews that she wanted to "go on the ground" to better understand the "political" and "military" reality in Ukraine. "We must explain to European citizens that this war in Ukraine has a huge impact for us, and the security of Ukrainian people is our security," Hayer said on Wednesday. "Our destiny is intertwined." The visit came amid fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin could ramp up attacks on Ukraine after attempting to implicate Kyiv in a terror attack on a Moscow concert...

Known in her native Germany for her outspoken, no-nonsense style, Strack-Zimmermann wants to switch the Bundestag in Berlin, where she presides over the defence committee, for the European Parliament in Strasbourg. By running for a seat, the 66-year-old hopes to expand her political clout and influence the debate on high-priority topics, such as support for Ukraine, the future of the defence industry, and economic competitiveness. All of this features heavily in the 10-point manifesto agreed last week by the European liberals ahead of the June elections, where they hope to retain their positio...

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, a German politician who chairs the Bundestag's defence committee, will be joined by two sitting MEPs, Sandro Gozi and Valérie Hayer, in a so-called "Team Europe" that would represent the liberal family in the EU-wide poll, scheduled to take place between 6 and 9 June. The unconventional move, officially unveiled during the party's kick-off event on Wednesday evening, is a direct challenge to the Spitzenkandidaten system under which each party is expected to nominate one lead candidate to preside over the bloc's most powerful institution: the European Commission. ...

Strack-Zimmermann - who belongs to Germany’s Free Democratic Party (FDP), part of the country's three-way governing coalition - was the only name put forward to lead ALDE's electoral bid. ALDE is one of the three political forces that make up the centrist Renew Europe group, home to liberal, pro-European political parties in the European Parliament. A defence expert who has earned a reputation domestically for her outspoken criticism of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Strack-Zimmermann will be one of three candidates sent by Renew to battle it out ahead of June's vote. She chairs the Bundestag’s...

In a short but explosive message, Breton denounced the centre-right group for failing to deliver an overwhelming endorsement to Ursula von der Leyen as lead candidate. At the end of the EPP congress in Bucharest on Thursday, von der Leyen received 400 votes in favour and 89 against. In total, 737 delegates had voting rights and 591 registered to vote, according to the party. (The message that Breton highlighted erroneously put the number of eligible voters at 801, making von der Leyen's victory margin seem smaller.) "Despite her qualities, Ursula von der Leyen (was) outvoted by her own party,"...
