@usti@witter.cz Yes, I am sure. All of these people are elected. They are members of parliament.

@jtb@toot.wales I understand your point now. You think it’s crucial ministers/secretaries/commissioners be appointed from the pool of elected members of Parlament. I don't share this view and I don’t think democracy in the EU would be on a different level if commissioners had to be sitting MEPs. And BTW, British PMs can appoint unelected members of the House of Lords as members of the cabinet. David Cameron was in the House of Lords when he was appointed Foreign Secretary in 2023.
