What are the real reasons European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delayed announcing the portfolios for her executive?

The official explanation for the delay is that Slovenia has changed its nominee, and the country’s parliament needs to ratify the new name. But the path to nominate commissioners is often turbulent. What else is afoot?

Today, Radio Schuman looks for answers with Euronews journalist Gerardo Fortuna.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and music by Alexandre Jas.
