Next Tuesday promises to be crucial for the European Commission, with events that could profoundly affect the future of the Union. This day, nicknamed “Super Tuesday”, will see the six vice-presidential candidates face parliamentary hearings, a decisive moment for their confirmation.
The first to appear before MEPs will be Raffaele Fitto, the Italian candidate for the executive vice-presidency. Fitto’s hearing is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at the European Parliament in Brussels.
The candidate is expected to answer a series of questions on key issues such as the economy, sustainability and social policies of the Union. His answers could prove decisive for his future appointment. These hearings are an important opportunity for MEPs to assess the candidates' expertise and vision. Each vice-president will have the opportunity to present his or her programme and respond to concerns raised by MEPs.
The decisions that will emerge from these hearings are not to be underestimated. The choice of vice-presidents will have direct repercussions on European policies in the coming years. In an increasingly complex global context, the European Union is looking for figures capable of addressing significant challenges such as climate change and sustainable economic growth. Super Tuesday could therefore mark a turning point not only for individual candidates, but also for the entire political architecture of the Union. With growing geopolitical uncertainty and domestic challenges, the outcome of these hearings could also reflect the aspirations and anxieties of European citizens, making Tuesday a moment to watch closely.
