EU leaders failed to reach an agreement on a second term for Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission. Despite optimism from leaders such as France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Olaf Scholz, the European People's Party's (EPP) demands for more power led to a deadlock. European Council President Charles Michel confirmed that discussions are expected to continue at the next meeting on June 27-28. Meanwhile, the European Commission has proposed disciplinary budget steps against France, Italy, Belgium, Hungary, Malta, Poland, and Slovakia for running excessive budget deficits. Eleven EU countries have budget deficits exceeding the 3% threshold. The Commission's proposal will be reviewed by EU finance ministers in July.
France’s next government will have to tussle with EU’s spending police: Macron’s snap election looks likely to herald a fight between Paris and Brussels as the country is one of seven placed in Excessive Deficit Procedure. https://t.co/mPDV4XpGOZ

#EUCO outcome: no deal, for now. It looks like at least one problem was von der Leyen's own EPP, who apparently got greedy and started demanding they be given 75% of the EU's top jobs (because they won 21% of votes in EU election). Center-left (🇩🇪🇪🇸) balked.
