Extraordinary moment in France. Parliament has just voted down Michel Barnier’s government, thanks to the left and Le Pen’s far right voting together. It’s the first time parliament has overthrown a 🇫🇷 government since 1962

Important takeaway from von der Leyen's speech this morning: Várhelyi will be still leading the Critical Medicines Act, one of the most important pieces of legislation in the next term. Cooperation with Hadja Lahbib will be still needed as she'll be fully in charge of DG HERA

🚨 Just in: Manfred Weber (EPP), Iratxe García (S&D) and Valerie Hayer (Renew) have reached a deal to unblock the nominations of Teresa Rivera, Raffaele Fitto and Olivér Várhelyi.
The three leaders also commit to a pact on a pro-European coalition for the legislature.

The @Europarl_EN hearings of the new @EU_Commission Commissioners-designate will take place between 4 and 12 November.

The Draghi report contains one of the most spot-on critiques for the current state of EU industrial policy I have read so far.
And it comes with some solid ideas on how to move forward. Here are the three main takeaways.

🚨 BREAKING: Former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi has said the EU must spend twice as much as it did after WWII.

Dear Mario Draghi, a year ago, I asked you to prepare a report on the future of Europe’s competitiveness.
No one was better placed than you to take up this challenge.
Now, we are eager to listen to your views ↓

The EU Parliament is currently planning to conduct the EU Commissioners hearings between the 14th and the 18th of October, according to an internal document. But the timeline is very tight, and could thus be amended soon

ALT Le Président de la République a nommé Monsieur Michel BARNIER Premier ministre. Il l’a chargé de constituer un gouvernement de rassemblement au service du pays et des Français. Cette nomination intervient après un cycle inédit de consultations au cours duquel, conformément à son devoir constitutionnel, le Président s’est assuré que le Premier ministre et le gouvernement à venir réuniraient les conditions pour être les plus stables possibles et se donner les chances de rassembler le plus largement.

Joe Biden ends re-election campaign, saying "it is in the best interest of my party and the country" bbc.in/46gq4xN
@vonderleyen with a bigger win than 5 years ago - probably due to official support from the Greens.
Now time for her to build the new European Commission.
Good decision for stability and continuity at a time of great instability in the world.
She made a lot of promises in her Political Guidelines to the @Europarl_EN political groups, lots of work to do.
