BRUSSELS - Liberal and socialist lawmakers at the European Parliament called on Thursday for a new title of European Commission Vice President for Protecting our European Way of Life to be scrapped because of its “toxic” far-right connotations.
Ursula von der Leyen, the incoming president of the EU’s executive, announced last month that Greece’s Margaritis Schinas would be given the title, but it has been sharply criticized and she is under increasing pressure to drop it.
