Starting tomorrow, @vonderleyen will deliver the most anticipated speech by the President of the European Commission this year in Strasbourg, the so-called #SOTEU.

After the elections, there are always elections ahead. In Germany, after the overwhelming victory of AfD and the debacle of traditional parties in Saxony-Anhalt, elections are held on Sunday in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin.
