Nicolas Schmit, the lead candidate of
the Party of European Socialists (PES) for next month's EU
elections, said Thursday that he is not in favour of former ECB
President and former Italian premier Mario Draghi becoming the
next European Commission President.
"It would mean not respecting the system," Schmit told the news
agencies involved in the European Newsroom, including ANSA.
That said, Schmit conceded that "there could be the problem that
no one (among the Commission president candidates) manages to
obtain a majority in parliament.
"In the end, it's the parliament that decides," he said.
