Ursula von der Leyen knows that her new commission will need support from the kind of hard-right parties it once swore to shunMany observers breathed a sigh of relief earlier this year when the mainstream, pro-EU alliance – of centre-left, centre-right and liberal parties – held on to its majority in the European parliament elections.
