Antonio Costa, the former prime minister of Portugal, has been chosen to replace Charles Michel as Council president. His appointment as Council President signals a new phase, despite questions surrounding his political career in Portugal.

His previous governance and diplomatic skills are seen as assets in enhancing the Council’s role in EU affairs.

Costa, in accepting his new role, expressed a sense of mission, stating, “It is with a strong sense of mission that I will take up the responsibility of being the next President of the European Council.” He thanked his socialist supporters and the Portuguese government for their backing and emphasized his commitment to unity and advancing the Strategic Agenda.

The trio’s selection reflects the EU’s emphasis on political diversity, geographical representation, and gender balance in leadership roles. Costa’s heritage, with roots extending beyond Europe, also highlights a broader inclusivity in EU leadership.

Looking ahead, von der Leyen has initiated discussions with Socialist and Liberal groups to formulate a cohesive agenda for her next term. She expressed openness to broader parliamentary support to strengthen Europe’s resilience and influence globally, euronews reported. (ANI)
