Scholz: The next president of the EC should not work with the extreme right

"The next president of the European Commission (EC) should not seek support from far-right parties". 
This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Euronews reported. 
"When the next EC is formed, it should not rely on the support of a parliamentary majority, which also needs the support of right-wing extremists," Scholz said after talks with his Portuguese counterpart Luis Montenegro in Berlin.
"I am very distressed by the ambiguity of some political statements we have heard recently. But I am aware of this and it will only be possible to establish an EC presidency that relies on the support of the traditional parties. Anything else would be a mistake for the future of Europe," added the head of the German government.
Scholz, a Social Democrat who heads an unpopular progressive coalition in Germany, did not specify which statements he was referring to.
However, his words will probably be taken as a warning to the current President of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, who has not ruled out the possibility of working with some far-right parties./BGNES
