0Before the vote, von der Leyen received the backing of the three big groups, the conservatives, the Social Democrats, and the Liberals in the European Parliament. However, several MPs in these groups had said they would not support her. Von der Leyen was able to secure the vote because of the backing from the Green Group. While the Greens may not agree with all of van der Leyen's policies, they supported her to keep the extreme right from influence and power. A pro-Europe democratic majority will ensure stability.
