Presidency of the European Council: Scholz alongside António Costa, Montenegro communicated support for Sánchez and Von der Leyen

In the race for a top position, António Costa has the support of Olaf Scholz. From what Expresso found, the German chancellor is with the prime minister, which means a strong ally in being elected president of the European Council.

Costa is now seen as the European Socialists’ favorite and strongest candidate. The former prime minister has been moving behind the scenes to gain allies. Now, it is already public that Luís Montenegro is one of them.
