Can you imagine a similar piece about disagreements between the EPP and ALDE? And have you, by the way, even heard those acronyms?
Yes, they are European political parties, but hardly anyone has heard of them.
They are not political parties, they are political groups. It’s like how caucus in the US Congress where an independent can be together Democratic members in one caucus.
The EU executive, on the other hand, where most of the real power lies, is apolitical, and the individual commissioners are appointed by member states, not by political parties.
Calling the decisions of member states apolitical is wrong. They are all political appointments. It’s not like for example the British system where you have a private secretary appointed to a minister that’s an apolitical appointment.
