(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 20 - Italy will have a leadership position
on the new European Commission with Raffaele Fitto as executive
vice president with the cohesion brief, European People's Party
(EPP) leader Manfred Weber said after a deal was clinched on the
new commission Wednesday.
"We have found a balanced approach," he said after the EPP
dropped its veto on Spanish Deputy Premier Teresa Ribera after
the Valencia floods and the Socialists dropped their veto on
Fitto after his Brothers of Italy (FdI) party of Premier Giorgia
Meloni voted against confirming Ursula von der Leyen as EC
chair.
