MEP Silvia Costa from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of the Socialists and Democrats commented that the groups of the socialists and the conservatives expressed positive attitude towards Gabriel’s candidature. Julia Reda from the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance said she did not expect any problems related to the appointment of Mariya Gabriel as Commissioner for Digital Economy. The coordinator of the European People’s Party in the Culture and Education Committee Sabine Ferheyen was confident that Mariya Gabriel would earn the majority of the votes.
