Fully 51% of Hungarians are set against incumbent president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, being re-elected, according to a Nézőpont Institute survey published on Wednesday, while 26% approved of her nomination. In its commentary, the think-tank said the parties of Péter Magyar and Ferenc Gyurcsány were poised to combine their votes to reinstall von der Leyen „against the will of the majority of Hungarians”. Von der Leyen needs the votes of at least 361 MEPs on Thursday to carry on in her post. The think-tank noted that Magyar’s Tisza Party has joined the EPP, while the Democratic Coalition belongs to the Socialist family of parties. The phone survey of voting-age adults was conducted between July 1 and 3.
