 In the last few weeks, a great deal of nonsense has been said about the concept of the Spitzenkandidat. Some accuse the European Parliament of a power grab, subrogating the lawful role of the European Council in choosing the new Commission President. Others trivialise the role of the Parliament and doubt the democratic credentials of the process. Many believe that the candidate must always be drawn from the largest party come what may. All these assertions are wrong. The election of the Commission President is a joint endeavour between Parliament and Commission, democratically legitimate, and fully in conformity with EU law.   CC BY-SA 4.0 Duff, Andrew Commission President EU EU European Parliament Spitzenkandidaten EU 342 https://verfassungsblog.de/about-the-spitzenkandidaten/ Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH 10.59704/9f2928f79726cb1f 240703 10.59704/9f2928f79726cb1f Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.7 using MARC21slim2MODS3-7.xsl (Revision 1.140 20200717)
