Frankfurter Rundschau writes about the petition to the leaders of Europe, demanding the woman president of the European Commission. Slavenka Drakulic is among many intellectuals who signed this open letter.
Before the European parliament election in May, the Delors Institute initiated a petition, stating:
“We want a European leadership that reflects Europe. All of Europe. Women too. … Equal representation is in everyone’s interest. It is not a woman issue. Yet some still act as if women are a minority. Women are not a minority. Women and men should be equally represented when it comes to European leadership. So help us make sure that the new European leadership is equal. It is time we have a gender balanced European Commission. The same number of women and men among Commissioners. The same number of women and men in the team of the President and the Vice-Presidents of the Commission. And as many female presidents as male in the European institutions. It is now. Make it happen. Vote”
