Charles Michel has announced his intention to step down early from his position as the president of the European Council. This unexpected move has prompted discussions about potential successors and the future direction of the European Union's top decision-making body. Further details on the reasons for his early departure and the implications for EU governance are yet to be disclosed.
European Council President Charles Michel has announced his candidacy for the upcoming European parliamentary election in June, with plans to take his seat in Parliament if elected. This move prompts the need for EU leaders to find a quick replacement for his current role to avoid the possibility of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, known for his contentious relations with other EU leaders, temporarily leading the Council. Michel's decision marks the first time a sitting Council president has run for the European Parliament, adding pressure on EU leaders to navigate the post-election top job distribution efficiently.
