(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, JUN 25 - EU leaders representing the
three main political groups in the bloc have agreed to put
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen forward for a
second term, a source close to the talks told AFP on Tuesday.
The European Union's 27 leaders head to Brussels on Thursday for
a two-day summit intended to divide up the bloc's top jobs in
the wake of this month's European Parliament elections. Ahead of
the gathering, six leaders acting as chief negotiators have
reached a deal that now needs to garner support from a weighted
majority of 15 leaders at the summit. The accord divvies up the
key posts among the alliance dominating the parliament: the
centre-right European People's Party (EPP) and its partners, the
Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and the centrist Renew Europe.
