''Ursula von der Leyen is expected to choose a woman as a candidate from Bulgaria for European Commissioner, primarily due to the severely disrupted gender balance in the European Commission.” This prediction was made by MEP Radan Kanev from the Group of the European People's Party in an interview with bTV.
