Agriculture MEPs elect far-right vice-chair
By EUobserver
The European Parliament's agriculture committee on Tuesday elected Spanish far-right MEP Mazaly Aguilar from the Vox party as its third vice-chair. She received 27 votes. Centre-left MEP Clara Aguilera received 20 votes. The vote was previously delayed, amidst some MEPs' discontent that the European Conservatives & Reformist group put a Vox candidate forward. Another ECR candidate, former Polish PM Beata Szydlo, was rejected as chairwoman of the employment committee.
