Spain's Energy Minister Ribera to lead Spanish socialists in European elections
- Country:
- Spain
Spain's outspoken Energy and Environment Minister Teresa Ribera will lead the list of nominees by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to stand in the European Parliament election in June, the party said on Wednesday, paving the way for her to be Sanchez's candidate for a commissioner's post.
Ribera will face a campaign in which the European Socialists seek to maintain their foothold while there is a resurgence of right-wing parties and as the European Union's green agenda faces resistance.
