EU reshuffles Commission as antitrust chief Vestager vies for bloc’s top banking job

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s Commission is reshuffling more of its top management because antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager of Denmark is seeking to become the president of the European Investment Bank.

EU climate chief Frans Timmermans left his job to lead a united left front in the Dutch November elections in an attempt to succeed outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Since there will be wholesale changes in the EU’s Commission after the June 2024 elections, several commissioners are leaving ahead of time when an opening that better suits their taste emerges.
