European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has appointed Jens-Alexander Flosdorff, one of her longtime advisers, to a senior position within the European Union's administration.
Flosdorff was named director in charge of communication with European Union citizens, a senior post that has been opened, in an unusual move, to a non-career European civil servant.
The appointment reflects von der Leyen's practice of placing trusted, longtime aides in key positions within the EU bureaucracy, a pattern that has drawn scrutiny from observers of the Commission's internal governance.
The role is expected to involve shaping how the European Commission communicates with the public across member states, an area that has taken on added significance amid ongoing debates about public trust in EU institutions.
Further details on Flosdorff's specific responsibilities and start date in the new role were not immediately available.
