EU: Government with bad political families

The process of forming the next European Commission is about to end. The majority of the organization has normalized the extreme right. Adjustment and undemocratic measures will have to be resisted through strikes and mobilizations. And set the strategic course towards a socialist and workers' Europe.

Institutions and their methods
The European Commission (THIS), based in Brussels, Belgium, It is the main executive body of the European Union (EU). It is made up of the College of Commissioners of twenty-seven members, one for each member country of the Block, with a portfolio each and the presidency at the top. This institution complements its work with Parliament, the council, the Court of Justice, the Central Bank and the European Court of Auditors.
The presidency is named after the leaders of each country, meeting in the European Council, They present the candidate based on the results of the elections to the European Parliament and their appointment depends on the majority support of the elected deputies.. Once this requirement is completed, the presidential candidate chooses the possible vice presidents and commissioners proposed by the countries, which must receive the approval of national leaders meeting in the European Council. After, each candidate presents their proposals to Parliament which decides whether or not to accept the team and finally, the European Council appoints him by qualified majority.
The changes began with the elections
The superstructural circuit to renew the Community government of the period 2024 a 2029 It began with the elections held in June, whose result once again gave the majority to the sector in which the European People's Party is located (PPE) -traditional center-right and Christian democracy; the Party of European Socialists (S&D) -social democracy and progressivism- and Renew Europe (RE) -liberals-.
The other relevant data was the rise of the extreme right and the conservatives who won in several countries and where they did not succeed grew considerably.. It is the reflection of a global phenomenon analyzed in detail in the sixth edition of the magazine Revolución Permanente., of the International Socialist League (LIS), with cover title “The rise of the far right. The tasks of the revolutionaries.
After the debates, smoke of peace
In July, the three main European political families smoothly approved the second consecutive term of Úrsula von der Leyen (PPE). The approval of the commissioners was not so calm due to the clashes between the Spanish PP and the PSOE over responsibilities for the death of 221 people during the DANA passing through Valencia. The PP tried to veto the government's current third vice president and Minister of Ecological Transition as European Commissioner, Teresa Ribera and the PSOE defended her. It has been a controversy between cynics since both have serious responsibilities that neither the regional nor the state governments assume..
Finally, after a “heart attack” week on Wednesday 20 November the EPP, The social democrats and liberals avoided the outbreak with an agreement that unblocked the appointments of the future Commission and committed to “work together with a constructive approach”. The next steps will be taken next week with a vote in the European Parliament and on December 1 with the assumption of the authorities.
They normalize the far right
The agreement also includes the continuity in the vice presidency of the Italian Raffaele Fitto, of the Brothers of Italy party, of Giorgia Meloni and the acceptance of Olivér Várhelyi, from Viktor Orbán's party, as a candidate for Commissioner for Health and Welfare, whose powers have been reduced, taking away control over reproductive rights and management of health crises.
The main political families continue to adopt far-rightists as if the integration into “democratic institutions” of figures from parties with neo-fascist positions was something normal.. von der Leyen's spokespersons have justified it this way: “As an EPP group, The most important thing is that the European Commission takes office on December 1st.. “Europe needs stability”.

Social democracy and progressivism deserve a separate paragraph, as, as usual, They protested a little but left aside their promises to reject the extreme right and accepted it as part of the agreement. To save the forms, The “socialists” signed a vague and ambiguous document that does not highlight the far-right threat and leaves the EPP free to continue allying itself with it.. With their disastrous efforts and surrenders, they contribute to the advancement of the most reactionary in the streets and in the institutions..
Nothing to expect from the EC
The formation of unfavorable families in the Community Executive predicts more concessions to pressure from the extreme right to adopt austerity measures, precariousness, insufficient wages and business profits. More anti-immigration policies, limitation on women's rights and superficiality regarding action on climate change. The representatives of the capitalist system will try to make the workers and the people pay for the crisis., even with limitations on democratic freedoms by regimes.
The commitment to North American imperialism, NATO and the genocidal State of Israel will maintain its strategic imprint beyond possible tactical criticism of the far-right Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. These are the reasons why working people should not place expectations on the new leadership of the Bloc.
Resistance and new political organization
The strikes, European mobilizations and actions have shown that there is strength to continue and deepen the resistance. The construction of strong consistent socialist parties is also essential to promote democratic and social demands and the international regrouping of revolutionaries. Raising high the flags of the government of the workers and the people, with a free Federation of European Socialist Republics.
