Ursula von der Leyen, candidate for NATO Secretary General

Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, is running for the post of NATO Secretary General if she is not re-elected to the European Commission. The Italian "La Repubblica" newspaper made this claim on Tuesday. According to the newspaper, its preparation started a few weeks ago.

"Von der Leyen's trip to Canada and the USA, which started on March 7, should be considered in a different light, that is, in the context of his possible candidacy for the post of NATO Secretary General," the publication writes.
