Von der Leyen section makes no sense

The section about the VdL commissions has a bunch of issues.

Outright falsehoods like the idea that the Spitzenkandidatenprozess is the normal way to determine the president "in general". No spitzenkandidat has ever become president, so the wording "in general" makes no sense.
There are several unimportant facts in the description while basics like the appointment of VdL to a second term are missing completely (but then her second term is assumed as a matter of course).
Some of the wording sounds like flattering POV: e.g. 'Von der Leyen revealed her new team of European Commissioners, marking a shift to a "leaner" and more interconnected structure.'
