Given the (excellent) incumbent is Polish -- already the chosen candidate of the Council of the European Union -- this suggests the centre-right block #EPP (by a small number, the must numerous party in the European Parliament) is gaining ground in imposing a weaker candidate, who will help them water down the #GDPR in the coming years.

This would be a tragedy for fundamental rights in the #EU.
It is also ironic that weaker candidate is a long-term European Commission official -- laughable, given who the #EDPS supervises.
Mr #Gencarelli led the drive to enable Europeans' personal data to continue to flow unimpeded (sorry, "with trust") to Mad King #Donald 😳
