European Commissioner Pierre Moscovici is eyeing its presidency when Jean-Claude Juncker’s term expires in 2019.

“The candidacy for the post of president of the Commission could interest me,” Moscovici told Germany’s Welt am Sonntag in an interview.

The socialist French politician, who oversees the economic and finance portfolio at the Commission, added that after weak election results in many EU member states for the left, “European social democracy is in a crisis” and needs to rebuild ahead of European elections in two years.

Moscovici told POLITICO’s EU Confidential podcast last month that he backs calls for a European finance minister and would be “be honored, pleased, etc. to be in that function.”
