EU social-democratic leaders back Juncker as commission president
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 21 - 06 - 2014

European social-democratic leaders agreed Saturday to back centre-right EU political veteran Jean-Claude Juncker for
European Commission president, dpa reported.
"We have agreed that the social democrats accept that the EPP
[European People's Party] won the European elections and Jean-Claude
Juncker should be president of the European Commission," German
Deputy Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said.
French President Francois Hollande had invited the centre-left
leaders of seven countries - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Italy,
Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic - to Paris ahead of an EU
summit next week.
Germany was represented by Gabriel, leader of the country's Social
Democratic Party.
Gabriel, who is a partner with Merkel in Germany' grand coalition
government, had earlier been demanding that Merkel award Schulz a
commission job as a tribute to Social Democratic prestige.
EU leaders continue to haggle over the bloc's top jobs after May
elections.
