Did von der Leyen avoid the conference with Nawrocki? There is an official explanation from the European Commission

The European Commission clarified that Ursula von der Leyen's absence from a press conference with Karol Nawrocki was due to scheduling conflicts, not political support for Donald Tusk. This statement followed earlier reports suggesting her absence indicated support for Tusk in a conflict regarding the Constitutional Tribunal. The Commission emphasized that her non-attendance was communicated well in advance of recent events in Poland. During the V4 leaders' conference, Nawrocki highlighted the importance of Central Europe in shaping the continent's future and stressed that the strength of Europe relies on its member states and their economies.
