Ursula von der Leyen may become NATO Secretary General

If Ursula von der Leyen is not re-elected as the head of the European Commission, she may apply for the post of NATO Secretary General.

About it writes publication La Repubblica and reports that the head of the European Commission has already begun preparations a few weeks ago.

Another contender for this post is former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who announced his intention at the end of February and expressed the hope that he would be lucky in this endeavor.

And the Canadian media wrote last year that an ethnic Ukrainian woman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, is being considered for the post of Secretary General of the alliance.

Already in September, the powers of the current NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expire. Oanu Lungescu, a spokesman for the organization, said that Stoltenberg would not ask for a new extension of his mandate.
