The President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and former Spanish Vice-President, Nadia Calviño, expressed her confidence on Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that whoever presides over the European Commission after the European Parliament elections in June will make an "affordable" energy transition a priority.
Calviño made these statements at an event organised by the New Economy Forum in the European capital when she was asked about statements made by the Spanish Vice-President and candidate for European Commissioner, Teresa Ribera, accusing the current President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, of relaxing the green agenda.
