According to Czech MEP from the European People's Party (EPP) Tomáš Zdechovský, the vote for Bulgarian Commissioner-designate Ekaterina Zaharieva is not guaranteed.
"The problem is that many of our colleagues from the Socialists and the Liberals have not yet decided whether they will support her. They are playing games with us, and we don't know if they will vote positively for her", MEP Zdechovský told the BNR. When asked what he meant by "playing games," Tomáš Zdechovský responded: "Negotiations are still ongoing for her because they are afraid that the EPP will not support the candidates of the Socialists and Liberals. However, she has very strong positions with us. The EPP will support her 100 percent."
MEP Tomáš Zdechovský added that "Patriots for Europe" and "Europe of Sovereign Nations" have not yet decided how to vote, and it is more important for them to successfully push through the Hungarian candidate - the current Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi.
