This was stated in statements to the media by the president of the liberal group in the European Parliament (Renew Europe), the Frenchwoman Valérie Hayer, who has denounced and regretted the “irresponsible actions of all the political forces that do not contribute to a responsible solution.” and reliable” and that the contents of the hearings are “hostages of games and political interests, not contributing to any constructive work.

In this sense, the liberals call for a “strong, united and effective EU” and have invited all the actors involved to “return to the table to be responsible and avoid a political collapse” and avoid “harming the interests of all.”

They have also asked Von der Leyen to act and assume her responsibility now to “overcome this situation of deadlock and build bridges”, just fifteen minutes before the scheduled meeting between the president of the Community Executive and the leaders of the political groups in the Eurochamber.
