Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, will apply for the post of NATO secretary general if she is not re-elected to the EC.
Ednews reports that the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" published information about this.
According to the information, preparations for this have started a few weeks ago:
"Starting today, Leyen's visit to Canada and the United States should be viewed from a different perspective, that is, in the context of his possible candidacy for the post of NATO Secretary General. At the summit of the alliance to be held in Vilnius in July, an attempt will be made to extend Jens Stoltenberg's term of office, which will end in September, by another year.
